A motive is yet to be identified in the murder of a member of the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) at his home in Central Village, St Catherine on Tuesday morning.
Dead is 26-year-old Kemar Dennis.
Preliminary reports are that Dennis was sleeping inside his home located in Zambia in Central Village, when armed thugs gained entry to the premises about 3:00 am.
Dennis was shot several times.
Despite the best efforts of residents in assisting the JDF soldier to hospital, he was pronounced dead there.
