Tragedy struck in the rural community of Albion in Yallahs, St. Thomas on Wednesday morning when a two year old boy was killed, apparently at the hands of his mother.

The child has been identified as Renaldo Davis. His mother has been taken into custody at the Yallahs Police station. Her name has not yet been released. A police source told our correspondent the woman has been acting strangely since giving birth to the child. It is reported that about seven o'clock, concerned residents of Albion called the police after they did not see either mother or child. When the police arrived the body of the boy was found on a bed. He appeared to have been strangled with an electrical cord which was found around his neck.      His mother, who was on the outside of the house when the police arrived, was taken into custody. Still in St. Thomas, the body of a man was found washed up on the Yallahs Beach Tuesday. He is 51 year old Teddy Garrison otherwise called "Barrow", a fisherman from Yallahs. It is unclear whether he drowned or was the victim of foul play. The police say there were bruises on his face. In the meantime, 44-year-old Kenton Dyer of Sharper Lane, Old Harbour, St. Catherine was killed by gunmen in his community on Tuesday night.     Residents called the police about 10 o'clock after hearing loud explosions. The police who went to investigate found Mr. Dyer's body with gunshot wounds.
