Latest News

It has been confirmed that former Trade advisor to the government, Ambassador Peter King, died from wounds inflicted by a sharp object which was used to stab him several times in his upper body.

An on the spot autopsy at Ambassador King’s Waterloo Road apartment in St Andrew this morning also revealed that his throat was slashed.

Senior Superintendent George Quallo (QUAYLO) told the Gleaner Power 106 News a short while ago that senior detectives continue to question two persons following the death of Ambassador King.

He’s urging member of the public who can assist in the investigation to come forward.

The police believe the two persons being questioned were among a group of persons at Ambassador King’s apartment last night.

Ambassador King’s body was reportedly found nude in his bedroom and SSP Quallo said there was no forced sign of entry.

Bloodstains were reportedly found on an adjoining patio where the police believe the killer or killers might have washed off blood before leaving.

Peter King was my closest friend in Jamaica. When I lived in the country in the 1980s, he was my mentor and guide; whenever I've returned to visit, he took the greatest care of me.

He managed to balance his known gayness with an important career in public service, and his foul murder is a huge loss to Jamaica as a whole, not just to the struggling gay community there.

For someone who wants us to believe that he is not gay, sure have a curiosity for gay sites. If you are so anti-gay, what are you doing surfing on a gay site. Ummm, it suggests to me that you are a closeted gay man yourself. Do you understand the term "Internalised Homophobia"?

It's one thing to be gay and if that's your thing then that's your thing. Frankly, I couldn't care any less. However, it's completely another thing to be a nasty son of a bitch like Peter King who REGULARLY used his station to prey on young boys and especially the underpriviledged ones. Good riddance to that nasty fucker!!
