The Ministry of National Security says footage from JamaicaEye cameras in the vicinity of a fatal stabbing in Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth on December 14 is being used by the police to investigate the murder.
The ministry provided the update Friday as it confirmed that cameras closest to the location of the attack on Main Street were fully operational at the time of the incident.
It was reported that the camera above the incident was malfunctioning, which led residents of St. Elizabeth to appeal to the authorities to urgently fix the surveillance system.
But the National Security Ministry says while some cameras in the Santa Cruz area are currently offline due to technical challenges arising from maintenance delays, efforts are far advanced to fully restore these systems.
The Ministry says it is deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence and is reaffirming its commitment to providing the requisite resources, including technology assets such as JamaicaEye, to enhance the investigative and intelligence capacity of law enforcement in their pursuit of criminal elements across the country.
