The relatives of a man who was killed in Lilliput, St. James on Thursday for allegedly setting a People's National Party campaign vehicle on fire, say he was mentally ill.
The deceased is 44-year-old Kenroy Doeman.
Mr. Doeman was found with bullet wounds sometime after 9 p.m. in an area known as Africa, close to his home.
The shooting occurred less than two hours after a car parked at the house of PNP candidate for the Rose Hall division, Jason Cummings, was seen ablaze.
Following the incident, there were fears of political tension in the division amid speculation about a possible motive.
But one of Mr. Doeman's daughters has brushed aside the speculations, saying the incident has "nothing to do with politics".
"Him mentally ill. Him just do things and no matter how wi tell him fi tek di pill dem and so forth, bring him go doctor, him just make up him mind and seh him not taking any pill."
Remembering him as a hardworking and loving father of five, she shared their last encounter where he expressed hope of going overseas to marry her mother.
"Mi a seh daddy, just think bout your health. Right now, a your health wi a talk bout, and den him get chip out back. And that's it. That a di last memory," she recounted.
Investigations are continuing into the incident.
