Detective Corporal Wayne Llewellyn, who murdered four members of his family, before killing himself, appeared to have had marital problems, according to postings on his Facebook page.

Facebook postings, days leading up to this morning’s multiple murder/suicide, indicated that Detective Corporal Llewellyn was in a struggle with his relationship.

On March 26, Llewellyn posted a picture with the saying ‘Heart Closed Until Further Notice’.

On March 28, he changed his relationship status on Facebook from ‘married’ to in a ‘complicated relationship’.

One friend commented “imagine that”, while another asked, “what complicate your relationship now, married man?”

On April 1, Llewellyn then changed his relationship status to ‘no longer complicated’.

A friend commented “What God has joined together let no man put ……..no one said it would be easy. Ask the Lord to lead daily. Hang on in there.”

Llewellyn then responded by saying “Luv that sis …..but life has its options too….happiness comes from within.”

That was Llewellyn’s last relationship update, and today he killed his mother-in law, father-in-law, brother-in-law and stepdaughter in Tree Hill, St. Mary.

The victims were identified as 79-year-old Rachel Brown her husband 73-year-old Voldy Brown, Fitzroy Townsend, and 16-year-old Jorjhan Flynn.

Llewellyn also shot his 40-year-old wife in the neck and she was hospitalised.

Since the incident, several persons have commented on his Facebook page.

One person said, “Wayne!!!!!! Why??? I can’t believe this!!”

The same person went on to say, “Wayne, Wayne, Wayne!!! Only God alone knew what happened when you snapped and ended so may lives including yours. May God be with the family at this time!!!”

“I am saddened…Wayne we spoke at length and I suggested you give it time…I am in shock…I taught and loved Jorjhan…she was a beautiful girl….in hindsight you should have left your gun at home,” another person said.
