KINGSTON, Jamaica -The bound and decomposing body of an elderly woman was found in east Kingston yesterday.
Reports are that the body of Jacqueline Johnson, 68, was found in a shallow grave along the Palisadoes main road at about 9:00am.

The CIB responded and the body was discovered with hands bound. It was exhumed and later moved to the morgue for post-mortem.
It was later identified as that of Johnson, from Grafton Road, Vineyard Town in Kingston 3, who was reported missing on December 19.
