The St. James police have arrested a suspect in the murders of five homeless people between June and August of this year.

The arrest was made yesterday (August 31), after the police used forensic evidence and technology to link the man to the cases.

The suspect, whose name is being withheld until he is charged, is alleged to have killed all his victims by stabbing them.

Police Chief Major General Antony Anderson said the man in custody is being questioned and will be charged soon.

He added that the JCF has been making several breakthroughs in recent times, even in the most complex cases.
