Update | Bodies of missing Kitson Town residents found

The bodies of a man and a woman who went missing on Saturday have been found in bushes in an abandoned structure near Naseberry Villa in Kitson Town, St Catherine.

Their hands and feet were bound and had what appeared to be gunshot wounds.

The deceased have been identified as water vendor 38-year-old Georgia Rose Blunt and 42-year-old Ruel Fuller, both of Bendon district in Kitson Town.

The discovery was made this morning during a search by the police and residents.

The search was launched after upset residents mounted a major roadblock along the main road in Kitson Town in a call for action from the authorities to locate the missing duo.

Residents reported that the two were last seen on Saturday on way to deliver water to a farm operated by the woman.

When they did not return home an initial search by residents resulted in the discovery of the water truck.

They were reported missing on Sunday. 

The Guanaboa Vale police are investigating the matter.
