Two members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) lost their lives, while three others were left nursing injuries following separate incidents across the island over the weekend.

The incidents, which occurred in different parishes, have cast a pall over the force as investigations continue.

One of the deceased, Constable Mickhael Francis, affectionately called 'Teddy Bear', reportedly died by suicide inside his barracks at the Maroon Town Police Station in St James. He was found with a gunshot wound to the head shortly before 9 a.m. yesterday.
