Detectives assigned to the Major Investigation Division (MID) are probing the circumstances surrounding the death of three men in Bull Bay, St. Andrew on New Year's Eve.
The deceased have been identified as 68-year-old Isaac Ashman, a mason of Taylor Land, Nine Miles, Bull Bay, St. Andrew; 39-year-old Alrick Ashman, a construction worker of the same address; and a man known only as 'Nacoy'.

The police were alerted and on arrival, the bodies were seen with multiple gunshot wounds. The scene was processed and the bodies removed to the morgue pending post mortem examinations.
