WATCH: Police renew appeal for information in 8-y-o’s murder case
Police on Wednesday renewed their appeal to the public for anyone with information relating to the death of eight-year-old Danielle Rowe to come forward.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey, made the urgent call while investigators returned to the scene on Roosevelt Avenue in St Andrew where Danielle was thrown from a vehicle with her throat slashed after being kidnapped from the Breaton Primary School in Portmore, St Catherine.
Investigators were hoping to find additional evidence in the murder case.
“I am appealing to motorists or anyone who was in the vicinity [Roosevelt Avenue] within the period of about 4:00pm to 5:00pm on Thursday, June 8 to jog your memory, check your dashcams to see if you observe a female in a multi-coloured top and blue or denim knickers walking anywhere within this vicinity with a young child possibly with a knapsack on her back,” DCP Bailey said.
Police on Tuesday disseminated an image of a woman who they say is a person of interest in the murder case, and asked the public to come forward with any information they may have. The photo, which has since made the rounds on social media, was developed using an Electronic Facial Identification technique, the police said.

DCP Bailey went on to highlight the importance of finding the perpetrators of this brutal act.
“It is important that we really, collectively as a nation, pool our energy together to ensure that this case is not one of those that is placed on a shelf but that the person who is responsible is brought to justice,” he stated.
“All of us as Jamaicans we have a duty to ensure that this is done. Most of us standing here, we are parents so we understand what a child means to us and for that child to be killed in such a brutal way it must hit the nerve of every Jamaican,” he added.
