A three-year-old girl was found dead yesterday, April 26
in Montego Bay, St James, Jamaica. Police are hunting for the father who
is suspected to have killed her.
Police said that the body of the little girl identified as Leashay Thomas, was found
early in the morning on the popular Dump Up Beach, hours after
receiving a distress call from a relative of the child.
According to the police, on Monday night, a man, believed to be the
father of the child, called a family member to say that he was going to
commit suicide because he had killed Leashay and threw her body in the sea at
the popular Montego Bay beach.
A police spokesman said shortly after officers were dispatched to the
beach to investigate the report but returned to their base after coming
up ‘empty-handed’ after an extensive search of the shoreline.
They returned to the beach yesterday morning and spotted the body
of a child which was subsequently fished from the sea. It was later
identified as that of Leashay. They are waiting for the post mortem results to determine the cause of the little girl’s death.
