Jun 28, 2016 News

Porkknocker Shawn Mc Donald was reportedly murdered after he had threatened individuals with a cutlass and had attempted to rape a woman in the Kurupung area.
This is the report that has been given to police who are trying to find the men who placed the 43-year-old Mc Donald in a metal container after tying him up and beating him to death.
Police have so far detained a 20-year-old porkknocker who was arrested on Sunday at an area known as Pappy Show Landing, some three miles from the area where Mc Donald was slain. They were said to be closing in on two other suspects.
Mc Donald’s battered body, with limbs bound, was found in a metal container at his camp at Kurupung two Mondays ago.
A postmortem showed that he sustained multiple injuries, including wounds to the head, a broken shoulder, and a deep cut to the mouth that reportedly caused him to suffocate on his own blood.
According to reports, a woman had complained that Mc Donald had tried to sexually assault her and had cut down two hammocks near a camp.
Police were also told that Mc Donald was seen drinking and brandishing a cutlass at individuals at Kurupung. He was then seen heading towards his camp.
Police were also told that three men were later seen putting the porknocker in a metal container.
Around 06.00 hrs last week Monday, a woman went to Mc Donald’s camp to check on him and found the miner’s body in a container. The police were then notified.
Mc Donald resided at Amelia’s Ward, Linden, and was the eldest of four siblings. He had worked in the interior for several years.
