A woman’s body was found with her head partially severed down a precipice in Lydarth district, Portland on Saturday.
The deceased has been identified as 30-year-old Kerry-Ann Hunter, alias ‘Kerry Boo’ or ‘Chubby’, of Guinep Tree Lane, Port Antonio in the parish.
Reports are that about 9:30 am, a passer-by saw the body of a woman, later identified as that of Hunter, down a precipice, and summoned the police.
The body was taken to the morgue, pending a post-mortem examination.
Detectives in Portland have since launched an investigation into the death, which is the second killing on record for the parish for 2021.
