A man was killed and his brother hospitalised after two board dwellings on Jones Avenue in Spanish Town, St Catherine, were razed in a suspected arson this morning.

The dead man has so far only been identified as 'David'.

The police say both men were in the house when attackers set the premises on fire, shortly after 3 a.m.

An adjoining house was also damaged, but no one was injured. 

The dead man was reportedly found on his verandah.
