The St Ann police are trying to establish a motive for the gun slaying of two men in Priory, St Ann on Saturday.
The deceased are 33-year-old Garfield Thomas, alias ‘Brawlin’, a mason of Seacrest in Discovery Bay, St Ann, and 23-year-old Shamrick Edwards, alias ‘Pappy’, a carpenter of Stony Hill, St Andrew.

The police were subsequently alerted, and the bullet-riddled bodies of the men were found.
Thomas and Edwards were taken to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
The police are probing the development.
