POLICE still have no leads in the country's latest murder and are asking for the public's help.
The body of Kasno Major, 21, of Montell Heights was discovered lying on a dirt road early Wednesday morning. He was the country's 26th murder victim.
Police say his body was found around 7.30am off Cox Way, East Street.
Head of the Central Detective Unit Paul Rolle said: "We currently have no leads and no suspects. We are appealing to members of the public who may have heard anything or who may know something to come forward so we can bring this family some closure."
Friends and family of the slain man posted tributes on his Facebook page, describing him as a "fun-loving, kind hearted man, who would do anything for a friend."
Family members were too distraught to speak to The Tribune yesterday.
Meanwhile four people - three women and a man - are being questioned by police after the discovery of a large quantity of marijuana.
Eastern Division officers were on routine patrol on Lumumba Lane around 1pm on Wednesday, when they observed the occupants of a grey Daewoo acting suspiciously.
The officers conducted a search and discovered 60 pounds of drugs with an estimated street value $60,000.
An 18-year-old Shirlea Park man is also being questioned by police, in connection with the attempted robbery of Wendy's Restaurant on Mackey Street.
Police say off duty police officers and a security guard stopped the robbery and confiscated a handgun and ammunition.
