The prime suspect in last evening’s murder of two constables along Waltham Park Road in St. Andrew has surrendered to the police. 

Macarius Munroe, otherwise called “Macky” of Kingston 13, turned himself in today.

He was listed among three men wanted for the shooting deaths of 30-year-old Charles Stewart, and 32-year-old Jemarey Gordon.

The constables were reportedly along Waltham Park Road at around 7:38 p.m., when they got into an altercation with the suspects over the parking of stolen motor vehicles infront of their business place.

One of the suspects reportedly shot both men in the upper body. The lawmen died at hospital.

Constable Stewart was attached to the Spanish Town Police, and Gordon was from the Counter-Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigation Branch. 

Head of Police Area 4, Assistant Commissioner Michael Phipps, said Munroe surrendered at about 4 o’clock today. 

The other two suspects – Cardel Insang and Junior Brown are urged to turn themselves in. 

In the meantime, members of the public are being warned not to harbour fugitives. 

The Police High Command has assured that a thorough and intensive investigation has been launched into the double murder.

In the meantime, the Constabulary’s Chaplaincy Branch and Welfare Division are providing support to the family members, friends and colleagues of the slain constables.
