Residents of a section of Dunbeholden, St Catherine, were in for a horrific discovery yesterday, as the partially mutilated bodies of two males were found along a dirt track near the community's pump house.

One resident said that the sight of the dead men will forever be etched in her memory.

According to police reports, about 7:30 a.m., residents stumbled upon the bodies and alerted the police. Upon the lawmen's arrival, both bodies were found face down with partially severed necks and what appeared to be gunshot wounds. The men were discovered shirtless with their hands and feet bound. The scene was processed and the bodies removed to the morgue for post-mortem.
