Investigators probing the abduction and subsequent murder of Corporal Miguel Cuffe, say they have heard several theories as to the reasons behind the killing.

Included in these theories is the belief that the lawman was killed by men from one community and his body dumped in the next, so those residents would be blamed for his killing.

The 29-year-old policeman from the Police Statistics Department, was abducted from a house at Rosemary Lane, Naggo Head in Portmore, St Catherine, and later found dead in Southboro.

Deputy Superintendent Clive Blair, Operations Officer for the St Catherine South Division, told THE STAR he has heard talk of a community feud being one possible motive for the policeman's death. He said, however, that like many other theories that have abounded, the police are unable to confirm it.

He said: "We have heard about a million things so far. Everyday something new comes up. However, our investigations are ongoing." He said the police so far, have no concrete leads or suspects in the murder.

Reports said shortly after 4 a.m. on February 22, armed thugs went to a house where Cuffe, who is from Cavaliers, St Andrew, was spending the weekend with his girlfriend.

He was reportedly called from the house by the men pretending to be policemen.

The men are said to have tied his hands before putting him inside his Toyota Hiace van and took him to the neighbouring community of Southboro where he was reportedly shot three times in the head.

Before leaving, the gunmen are said to have opened fire and set ablaze the two-storey house from which they took Cuffe.

Cuffe's body was later found while his firearm was reportedly taken from him. The girlfriend who is said to be a teacher escaped unhurt. Cuffe is the fourth policeman to be killed since January.
