The others remain unidentified.

In the latest incident shortly after 6 this morning, 1 man was killed in Chapleton.

The police say further information is not available at this time.

Meantime, at about 11:15pm, Salmon was shot and killed in Bucknor.

Reports are that he was walking along the Top Bucknor Main road; when he was pounced upon by gunmen who opened gunfire hitting him.

About an hour earlier Richardson and another man were killed in Howells Content, in York Town.

And earlier in Toll Gate, Evan Francis and his wife Alecia were killed at about 5:30pm.

On Monday, Mr. Francis’ son, 40–year–old taxi operator Kenrick Francis, was killed near his home, in Springfield.

It’s not clear if the incidents are related.

Head of the Clarendon Police, Senior Superintendent Carlos Russell noted however, that the murder of the couple was a result of an alleged domestic dispute over land.

He said the police are following leads into the incident.

SSP Pussell said the other murders are also being investigated.

He said no motive has been established for the double murder in York Town.

Meantime, Councillor for the York Town Division in Clarendon, Uphell Purcell has condemned the murders.
