A MAN out on bail became the country’s latest murder victim when his bullet riddled body was discovered in bushes off Pinewood Gardens yesterday morning.

According to Assistant Superintendent Solomon Cash, around 9am officers of the South Eastern Division received information that the body of a man was found on a dirt road off Pine Crest Drive, Pinewood Gardens.

He said: “Officers were dispatched to the scene and on arrival they confirmed there was a black male lifeless body lying in a bushy area.

“They contacted EMS personnel who examined the body and pronounced the individual dead. We are classifying this discovery as a murder because the victim had apparent gunshot injuries to the upper and lower body.”

Police have not released the identity of the victim, however, The Tribune understands he is Eric Morley, also known as “Trolley” of Fox Dale.

According to police sources, Morely, who is well known to police, was recently released on bail and was wearing an electronic monitoring bracelet.

ICS Security Concepts contacted police after noticing he had not moved for several hours.

Anyone with information on this latest homicide is asked to contact police at 911 or 919, the Central Detective Unit at 502- 9991 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 328-TIPS.

Morely became the country’s 99th murder victim for the year.
