Autopsies on the bodies of the two American missionaries who were murdered in St Mary last weekend revealed that Randy Hentzel died of a gunshot wound and Harold Nichols of chop and gunshot wounds.

The Government’s forensic pathologist did autopsies on the bodies of the two American missionaries yesterday. Their bodies were found in Albion Mountain, northwest St Mary, 24 hours apart.

Detectives yesterday attended a case conference at the Criminal Investigation Branch headquarters on Duke Street in Kingston to assess all the evidence collected so far in the investigations.

The Jamaican police said they would continue to be in touch with US Embassy officials and share the outcomes of the case conference as well as to discuss the possibility of partnering with American investigators.
