The house along Felicity Crescent, popularly known as Blood Lane in Montego Bay, St. James, in which two brothers and a female companion were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds about midday Thursday. - PHOTO BY MONIQUE HEPBURNWESTERN BUREAU: THE ST. James police have declared that brothers, Senil and Derrick Taylor, whose bullet-riddled bodies, along with that of a female companion, were found in the Felicity Crescent area of Montego Bay on Thursday, were both deportees with criminal records in the United States.
"They were both deportees, they were no angels," Superin-tendent John Morris, Area One crime officer, told The Gleaner yesterday.
"Fenel Taylor arrived in Jamaica on being deported from the U.S. on April 11, 2003 after serving 25 months for drug trafficking," said Superintendent Warren Clarke, commanding officer for the parish of St. James. "Derrick Taylor also arrived on deportation from the U.S. on January 26, 2005 after serving time for drug trafficking."
Superintendent Morris said Senil was deported four times and found his way back to the U.S. each time, while his brother was deported once.
While acknowledging that neither brother has ever had any brushes with the law locally, the Area One crime officer said that, based on their criminal involvement in the U.S. and their deportation record, they could not be considered as bona fide returning residents.
NOT LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
"They never came back here of their own free will, they were deported," he said. "We don't want the perception to be given that these two men were law-abiding citizens who returned home to Jamaica and fell prey to criminals."
The Gleaner learnt yesterday that passports, U.S. social security
documents and driver's licences with multiple names were found in the house where the men were killed. Jewellery, money and other valuables were also found in the house undisturbed. The police have ruled out robbery as a motive.
While refusing to give details of the police investigation into the killings, the first triple murder in St. James since the start of the year, Superintendent Morris said they were making steady headway as they had uncovered sensitive information pointing to a major criminal conspiracy.
"The information we have uncovered is far too sensitive to be divulged at this time as it could jeopardise our continued investigations," he said. "We can tell you this was not just another random killing, it goes much deeper than that."
The bodies were discovered by two of Senil's co-workers, who went to his home to find out why he failed to show up for work on Wednesday and Thursday and had not been responding to messages left on his cellular phone.
While not giving details of the men's history, family members told The Gleaner that Senil was a shoe salesman at a prominent Montego Bay shoe store and that Derrick had returned to the island eight months ago after spending 25 years in the United States.
