DETECTIVES from the St Andrew North Police Division are investigating whether Sunday night's shooting of two women on Pennant Terrace in Kingston 8 was a hit.
One of the women has so far been identified as 18-year-old Michelle Fisher of Western Park in Clarendon. The other is believed to be in her early twenties, of dark complexion, stout build and is about 162 centimetres (five feet, four inches) tall. Her body was found in brown tights, brown blouse and a pair of pink slippers.
"We are carrying out our investigations and based on the information there is more to the case than meet the eye," Deputy Superintendent Altermoth Campbell from the Constant Spring Police Station said yesterday
According to the police, both women were aboard a chartered taxi heading to Whitehall Avenue at approximately 9:00 pm.
On reaching Whitehall Avenue, the driver stopped the vehicle and two men, armed with guns, reportedly forced their way into the vehicle and ordered the driver to go to Pennant Terrace.
The police said that when the vehicle reached Pennant Terrace, the gunmen demanded money and when their demands were not met, they ordered both females out of the vehicle and opened fire hitting them. The two died on the spot.
"Based on how the women were killed we are following several leads; one of them is that the murder was a possible hit," Campbell said.
Investigators from the Constant Spring CIB have since taken the taxi driver and a woman into custody for questioning.
