Exclusive | Not just fire – Post mortem shows Guy’s Hill man was also shot
March 8, 2021
There is a major twist in a police investigation now that a post mortem is showing that 57-year-old Junior Williams also has gunshot wounds.
His charred remains were found in his burnt-out house at Ragsville district in Guy’s Hill, St. Catherine, on Sunday, January 17.
The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), through its communications arm, today told The Beacon: “The post mortem examination revealed that he had gunshot wounds to his upper body.”
Speculation had been rife over whether Williams died as a result of the blaze.
Kimmeca Moodie, daughter of the deceased, suspected foul-play from the outset.
She said her dad was mentally challenged.
Moodie further told The Beacon that, a few days before her father was found dead, some of her father’s neighbours had accused him of burning a few of their belongings.
“Two days before, my father was accused of lighting curtains and a car seat. I did not go and look [at the items],” she explained.
“The things burn on the Friday and the Saturday the police came asking how I was going to compensate for the stuff that got burn. On Sunday, he was murdered.”
Moodie further stated that she was heart-broken when she visited the burnt-out house and saw her dad’s remains among the rubble. “There is no word to express the pain I felt when I saw his remains,” she said, adding that her father was not a troublemaker.
“It was a gruesome death. I don’t believe he deserved something like that, because he was a very quiet person,” Moodie said.
A photo of the crime scene shows Williams lying face-down on the floor, and a charred mattress spring partly lying on him.
The fire fighters were not alerted while the house was on fire; neither was Moodie.
