Jan 14, 2013 News

Two persons are now in custody as police continue their investigation into the murder of 19 year-old Wesley Holder called ‘Tiffany’.
Relatives of the dead man said that they believe that the two persons who have been detained are responsible for the man’s death since they were last seen in his company. A close friend of Holder’s had voluntarily gone to the police and gave detailed descriptions of three men who were seen with him hours before he died.
However, the third person has not yet been arrested.

This publication has also been informed that Holder’s friend has since been at the receiving end of numerous death threats following the detention of the two suspects.
Initial reports are that Holder and his friend were out on King Street for their usual ‘business’ when three familiar men approached them.
The friend claimed that he declined to go with the men but Holder left with them for a High Street location.
On Friday morning last, the body of the 19 year-old Holder was found in the compound of the St. Phillips Green Church with marks of violence.
There was a cut behind his neck and stab wounds to other part of his body.
Freshly used condoms wrapped in tissue, and a knife, were also found not far from the body.
Persons close to the dead man said that they believe that the knife which Holder carried with him for protection may have been the very knife that was used during the attack.
“The life he lived was a dangerous one. We were always worried about him because of the business he did in the night. Many times he would come home and talk about being robbed after doing business so we told him to buy a knife and walk with it,” one relative told this publication.
Meanwhile, a post mortem examination is expected to be performed on Holder’s remains today.
