Teacher found dead with throat slashed in St Mary
ST MARY, Jamaica — The body of a 59-year-old teacher was discovered with her throat slashed at a St Mary home Sunday morning.
Dead is Angella Hamilton, a teacher of Pear Tree Grove Primary and Infant School in the parish.
Reports indicate that Hamilton was last seen on Friday leaving work around 4:30 pm. When calls to Hamilton’s cellular phone went unanswered, friends and family became concerned. A friend then visited her home around 3:00 pm on Saturday, and after receiving no response, entered the house where she saw the front door was open.
It is reported that she then found Hamilton’s lifeless body lying on the floor with her throat slashed and a stabbed wound to her chest.
The police were alerted, and the body was removed from the scene.
A motive for the killing is not yet known, however, the St Mary Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB) is investigating.
