Suspect in siblings' double murder killed in shoot-out

A reputed gangster who the police claim was implicated in the killing and video recorded burial of two siblings in Westmoreland is one of two men who were killed in a running gun battle with lawmen earlier tonight, according to sources.

He has been identified only as 'Gang Bang', who police sources claimed was a "prolific contract killer". The name of the other man has not yet been released by the police.

The gun battle started in Spanish Town and ended in Greater Portmore in St Catherine. Two illegal guns were reportedly seized at the scene, police sources disclosed. The operation was driven by intelligence and carried out by the police's Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Branch.

Kerrick Moodie, 20, and his sister Keneisha Moodie, 22, were identified by their mother after a video that went viral on social media last month showed them being buried in a shallow grave. They were reported missing days earlier, they were seen at a fast-food restaurant where they had gone to drop off a package containing $10,000 for their mother.

It's suspected that they were killed over a dispute involving money from the lottery scam.
