The Hanover police have made a breakthrough into the identities of the three alleged gunmen who lost their lives in a motor vehicle collision along the Barbican main road in Hanover on Sunday.
The dead men have been identified as 27-year-old Jamian Scott, unemployed, of 43 Bay View Drive in Pitfour, St James; 27-year-old Courtney Lazarus, otherwise called ‘Laze’ of Salt Spring, also in St James; and 27-year-old Javade Reid, otherwise called ‘Javie’, technician, of King Street in Montego Bay, St James.
Reports are that shortly after noon, Reid, Lazarus, and Scott were travelling westerly in a silver Nissan Latio motor car.
On reaching a section of the Barbican main road, they got word of a police checkpoint along the Mosquito Cove main road. The driver made a U-turn and sped back towards Sandy Bay.
The driver lost control of the vehicle, which collided with a tour bus.
The tour bus driver and four tourists sustained injuries.
A search of the three men and the Nissan motor car led to the seizure of two illegal handguns.
