A suspect has been arrested in Jamaica over the murder of a British Windrush migrant and his wife who were found dead near their homes on Friday. The suspect, who is not being named, is being held at the local police station for questioning by authorities over the couple's deaths.
Charlie Anderson, 74, had retired to Jamaica from Manchester with his wife Gayle, 71, just 12 months ago.
Sources on the Caribbean island told the Sun that Gayle was found with her hair burnt off 20ft from the couple's luxury retirement home.
Husband Charlie's body was discovered with burns to the genitals an hour later 40 metres away from Gayle.
Local reports said the couple had been stabbed as both were reportedly found with wounds to their face and neck.
A source also told the Sun the couple's windows had been removed from the outside and the living room had been set on fire. A police source in Jamaica told The Sun: 'We have a lot of strands to put together - some of them we just can't explain yet.
Mrs Anderson was discovered 20ft in front of the house and on the couple's property. She was lying on her back and her body had been partially, although not severely, burned.
Her hair was burned off, but her face was visible. And her clothes were burned with some material sticking to her body.
Mr Anderson was found 40 metres from the house, but still on the couple's land. He and his clothing were also burned - it was concentrated around the genitalia area.
There were pieces of burnt clothing between his body and the house, like he had been on fire and was getting away from the building. He was found towards the end of a long slope. One of the rooms in the house was also burned, their living room which I believe they also used to cook in while they did construction work on another part of the home.
While a spokesperson for the Jamaican police said: 'The police arrested someone today. They made an arrest this morning and have started to question a suspect about the murders of two Britons.
The man is being detained at a police station in the area. No one has been charged and the police will release a statement later on about developments on this murder.
