The first hurricane for the season formed on Saturday off the Mexican coast and according to forecasters it was growing stronger and will potentially bring heavy rainfall.

The US National Hurricane Center said Hurricane Enrique’s maximum sustained winds had risen to near 85 miles per hour Saturday and were expected to keep rising to Category 2 force by Sunday.

Enrique was centred about 220 miles south of Cabo Corrientes — the bulge on the coast south of Puerto Vallarta — and it was headed to the west-northwest at seven miles per hour. The hurricane could bring 6 to 12 inches of rain, with isolated maximums of 18 inches to coastal parts of Colima, Michoacan and Jalisco states.

Stay tuned as we track the developments with Hurricane Enrique.

The man who was arrested after allegedly slashing the throat of his pregnant girlfriend, 21 year-old Tashika McKay, in Rhoden Hall, Clarendon on Sunday June 19, 2021, was found unresponsive in his jail cell on Monday, and has been confirmed dead by police sources.

It is believed that the suspect, Markland ‘CJ’ Hayles who is 20-year-old took his own life while in custody at the Lionel Town Police Station in the parish. 

It was reported that Hayles slashed her throat during a dispute at her house, and fled the scene. Relatives later discovered her lifeless body lying on a bed.

However; according to Gleaner Reports Hayles’ mother Claire Bailey is disputing claims that her son killed himself. Bailey said she arrived at the Lionel Town lockup about 10:00 a.m. today with clothing for her son and was denied entry to his cell.  She claimed that while at the station, she saw police personnel putting her son’s body into a service vehicle and driving away from the property.

Bailey, who is currently at the Lionel Town Hospital where her son was pronounced dead, told The Gleaner that she was awaiting the arrival of personnel from the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) who are expected to launch a probe into the circumstances surrounding her son’s death.

St. Andrew Revenue Service Centre (Constant Spring Tax Office) was ordered closed today following a fire in the main building.

See Full Bulletin from Tax Administration Jamaica Communications Unit:

Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ) wishes to advise the public, that a decision has been taken to close its St. Andrew Revenue Service Centre (Constant Spring Tax Office), today Monday June 7, 2021 until further notice.

The closure has become necessary, as the Jamaica Fire Brigade conducts an investigation into a fire which was detected earlier today in a section of the main building. All offices at the location have been evacuated, as the Tax Authority takes the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of its staff and clients, in addition to allowing members of the fire brigade to conduct their operations. Clean-up activities will be undertaken as soon as investigations have been completed by the fire brigade.

Taxpayers are advised to utilise the convenience of TAJ’s online service offerings to conduct several transactions, which includes the payment for Driver’s Licence renewal, Fitness Certificate, Traffic Ticket, business related taxes and deductions and Property Tax, as well as electronically querying Property Tax liabilities.  

Additionally, customers may avail themselves of a range of online payments options, including making tax payments via National Commercial Bank, as NCB customers are able to use their online banking platform by adding TAJ as a Payee. Customers are also able to make several business payments via the new TAJ Direct Funds Transfer process. These are in addition to customers being able to make payments via the Tax Authority’s website www.jamaicatax.gov.jm using a credit card or other banking card with credit card features or using the Scotiabank’s automatic direct deposit via TAJ’s website.  

Although taxpayers are being encouraged to stay safe and do business electronically, they still have the option to do so at any Tax Office convenient to them, if necessary. Clients visiting the Tax Offices are reminded that there is a restriction on the number of persons allowed into an office at any given time. Customers are therefore urged to cooperate with the instructions of security personnel at its locations, to form an orderly line, wear a mask, sanitize their hands and maintain the recommended physical distance of at least 6 feet. The necessary COVID-19 protocols have been implemented for the safety of staff and clients.
