Investigators probe murder of Marlie Mount man

Jackson’s body was found inside a room at what was once known as Crest Motel situated along the commercial strip of Marlie Mount on the eastern outskirts of Old Harbour.

The body had multiple chop wounds investigators observed.

It is believed that Jackson, also known as ‘Finger’, was killed at some point between 9:00 pm Saturday and 6:00 am Sunday the period in which he entered the building and when he was discovered by a watchman guarding premises.
