Two men charged with murder of Anglican priest

Two men were arrested and charged by the Clarendon Major Investigation Division for the murder of 36-year-old Reverend Father Larius Lewis of Chapelton, Clarendon.

The nude body of the Anglican priest was found in the rectory.

The body was discovered by persons from his church after a report was made to the police that they had not seen him for some time.

Charged are 22-year-old Lloyd Thompson, otherwise called ‘Danjay’, and 20-year-old Tafari Wilson both of Roxborough district in Clarendon.

Reports are that about 4:30 p.m., both accused and Lewis got in an argument when a piece of furniture was used to strike him over the head.

They then stole one desktop computer, one tablet, one Samsung A10 smartphone from the house and a 2018 Hyundai Creta motorcar.

An investigation was launched which subsequently lead to the arrest of both suspects on Friday, January 22.

Their court dates are not yet finalised.
