A man who allegedly lured a St James inventory manager to his death was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon.
He is the prime suspect after a body believed to be that of missing businessman Allie Jackson, of Peters Avenue in Montego Bay, was discovered in a shallow grave in bushes in Gutters.
The suspect's identity has been withheld.
The police reported that Jackson was last seen alive at his home about 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 29.
Following Jackson's disappearance, a missing person report was made to the Freeport Police Station.
On Wednesday morning, the St James police acted on a tip and visited the Retirement community where they carried out a number of operations. Two men, including the suspect, were held.
The police then went to a section of the community that borders Gutters district and carried out a search of bushy field. The lawmen stumbled on a shallow grave containing the body.
