Product Information

We know there were a lot of people in the area at the time, either socialising or returning home, or to local hotels, and I'm keen to hear from them about what they might have seen or heard. They carried out an operation this morning - it was intelligence-led. Out of that operation, they seized two illegal firearms. There was an incident and one person [was] fatally shot, and three persons were taken into custody. One of the persons that died in the incident this morning, was named yesterday afternoon by the investigators as a person of interest. He was named on the list as ‘Gaza’ or ‘Gaza-Man’. So, the firearm was seized and he unfortunately died during that incident,” SSP Lindsay said. While the police have not yet established a motive for the murder of the family, Senior Superintendent of Police Stephanie Lindsay, who is in charge of the communication arm of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, told reporters that someone in the community or someone connected to the family might have information to share with investigators.

The casket, which will be taken from the Kearns-Dykeman Chapel to the church at 12:30 p.m., will not be opened at any time. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Stephanie Lindsay, head of the police's Corporate Communications Unit, stated that the detectives are working to determine a motive for the triple murder. She stated that based on information received, the woman was reportedly pregnant at the time of her death. Yesterday seemed to be a response to what happened then as part of the ongoing gang conflict,” she said.SSP Lindsay confirmed that Tuesday’s murders were a continuation of a gang conflict that started sometime in August Detective Inspector Hannah Whitehouse said: “Our thoughts remain with Derlarno’s family who are being supported by our specially trained officers at this tragic time. Police in Waterloo Road on Sunday The police have indicated that all signs point to the deceased being a mother, father, and their son. They have been identified as Omar Wellington, 43, a sales representative at an auto parts store in Spanish Town; Sharon Francis-Wellington, 35, a cashier at a supermarket; and Orlando Wellington, 16, a student at Innswood High School in St Catherine. Lindsay said detectives had combed the crime scene and were putting the pieces together to see if they could make an early breakthrough in solving the murders.

The three deceased — 34-year-old Sharon Francis-Wellington, her husband 43-year-old Omar Wellington and 16-year-old son Orlando Wellington — were found dead inside their house with hands bound and, according to the police, were shot and their throats slashed. Shots were then fired out of the Audi, with both the van and Paul being shot multiple times. The car then drove off, before turning around and firing more shots at the 23-year-old.

Police said the girl’s mother, Mrs. Lorraine Sadler, told them the baby fell from a chair Wednesday morning and hit her head.

Whatever information they have ... they can share with investigators very early, and when I say very early, I mean very early, because, when we don’t know where it is coming from, it is not unusual for persons to take reprisal,” Lindsay said.One of the owners of the gym said that a stranger, who had been in training in the gym that morning, asked 'where the toilets were'. She also urged community members to come forward with any information they might have to assist the police in providing closure to the grieving family. An informed source told The Gleaner, however, that the possible motive could stem from a lingering gang feud that has existed for some time between rival factions of the Clansman gang.

Police continue to call for any witnesses to the argument to come forward to help catch the killer.

The St Catherine North police have confirmed that there have been shootings in the area, but were unable to immediately provide further details. Not much is known now, so members of the scenes of crime unit are there processing the scene. [The detectives] are using whatever lines of inquiry they are following to see if they can actually put bits and pieces of this investigation together,” SSP Lindsay reported.
