The St. Ann police have identified Randy Ttaile as a person of interest in connection with the homicide of his child’s mother, Nadia Binns.
According to reports, Binns, a 42-year-old laborer, tragically passed away at her residence in Helicon District, Discovery Bay in St Ann, on Sunday, May 19, 2024.
In a previous incident, the 42-year-old was chopped and left for dead at her home on January 30.
Senior Superintendent Dwight Powell, head of the St. Ann Police, revealed that Binns was the victim of a previous incident, where somebody chopped her multiple times and left her for dead on January 30, 2024.
However, the investigation could not proceed because Binns did not know the culprit. The police believe both incidents are connected and urged Ttaile to surrender.
The police also urged persons with information concerning both incidents to share it with the police.
