The Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) is following several leads in its investigation of the deaths of four relatives, including a teenage girl and a four-year-old boy in Central Village, St. Catherine early this morning.

A woman, her two daughters – one a teen, the other an adult – and her four-year-old grandson perished in a suspected arson attack at their home in Compound shortly after 1 AM.

She says following cooling down operations by firefighters, the four burnt bodies were found among the rubble.

SSP Lindsay says the police are following several lines of inquiry into the incident.
