The six victims were stabbed and beaten by Mr. Williams at Pagee, Port Maria, St. Mary, during violent rampage on Wednesday.
It's reported that Asher was walking with his mother and other family members in their community, when the man, armed with a knife and construction steel, attacked them.
The three-year-old boy died from a blow to the head.
His mother and nine-year-old sister sustained knife wounds.
