Au­top­sies will be con­duct­ed to­day at the Foren­sic Sci­ence Cen­tre, St James, on the bod­ies of two men killed in sep­a­rate in­ci­dents on Sat­ur­day. The week­end killings have brought the mur­der toll to 358. Jesse James, 20, of School Street, En­ter­prise, was shot dead while lim­ing near his home around 9.30 pm.

James was stand­ing at the cor­ner of African Grounds and En­ter­prise Street, when a man, dressed in black, rode up to him on a mo­tor­cy­cle and opened fire, hit­ting him sev­er­al times about the up­per body. As the in­jured man fell to the ground, the gun­man drove off. James was tak­en to the Ch­agua­nas Health Fa­cil­i­ty where he died around 9.45 pm. Of­fi­cers from the South­ern Homi­cide Bu­reau are con­tin­u­ing en­quiries.

Mean­while, in an­oth­er in­ci­dent around 10.40 pm, Bel­mont po­lice of­fi­cers re­spond­ed to a re­port of loud mu­sic com­ing from a house at Up­per Bel­mont Val­ley Road. Up­on ar­rival at the house, of­fi­cers dis­cov­ered the body of Wal­lace "Bulls" Williams, 59, of St Lu­cien Road, Bel­mont, ly­ing in a pool of blood in the dri­ve­way.

Wal­lace, a pro­pri­etor, had in­juries to the right side of the face and a sin­gle stab wound to the chest. The dis­trict med­ical of­fi­cer, Dr Ken­neth Chai Hong, vis­it­ed the scene and pro­nounced Williams dead. Up to yes­ter­day, of­fi­cers had not yet es­tab­lished a mo­tive for the killing as Williams was not known to po­lice. Cpl De Gale of the Bel­mont Po­lice Sta­tion is con­tin­u­ing in­ves­ti­ga­tions.
