- Suspicious activity suspected in burnt-out St Elizabeth aircraft probe
A small airplane crashed in a section of Elim in northeastern St Elizabeth on Friday night and found to be burnt when authorities discovered it. A probe into the circumstances now includes a theory that the aircraft might have been involved in suspicious activity.
Details surrounding the crash have not been released, as police said checks were being made in the area up to Saturday morning.
According to the Jamaica Observer, the suspicion is based on preliminary investigations, which suggest that the plane might have landed and experienced difficulty taking off on Friday night.
The source also mentioned the belief that cargo was removed from the plane and that it was possibly set ablaze.
It is believed that a road near a swamp was used as a runway for the aircraft.
