A special team of investigators from Kingston has been sent to St. James to probe Thursday's killing of nine-year-old Gabriel King.
The body of the autistic child, which had the throat slashed, was found inside his mother's vehicle in Fairfield Estate.
The woman was reportedly ambushed by gunmen as she slowed to navigate a pothole on the Oak Hill main road.
One of the men hit the woman in the face, dragged her from the vehicle, and the attackers drove off with her son.
