Sean Patterson Obituary: A Life Cut Short in Jamaica

The untimely demise of Sean Patterson, a 33-year-old software engineer from New York, has left his family, friends, and the entire community in a state of profound grief and disbelief. Patterson, an avid traveler, lost his life during what was supposed to be a cherished vacation in the Caribbean island of Jamaica. It was reported that he had only been on the island for three days when his enjoyable holiday turned into a nightmare.

The 33-year-old was discovered in a “pool of blood” with several gunshots at the upper part of the body near the pool where he was vacationing. Unfortunately, he was supposed to tie the knot with his Nepalese fiancee, Anuja before the incident happened. They have been together for 13 years before the cold hands of death snatched him away.

The Fateful Incident

According to eyewitness accounts, Patterson was enjoying a leisurely time at One Love Guest House in Bogue Hill, St James when the unthinkable occurred. He was initially lodged in an apartment before moving to the villa on Bogue Hill on New Year’s Day where he stayed with another man from London. Patterson and his fellow traveler met another man, a local resident who hails from Kingston, and became friends and the three of them decided to lodge in the same guesthouse but in different rooms.

The following day ushered in the gloom as it was reported that a “lone man dressed in a black hooded sweatshirt” was seen firing different shots at him. The local Kingston man with him said he heard the gunshot and decided to flee to the bush.

The Suspect

One of his friends that they were together has become a suspect in Patterson’s murder. The suspect was said to have been deported from the UK 13 years ago. A friend of the deceased said Patterson, together with another friend, had met the suspect after an event on the north coast of the island. They all traveled to Montego Bay together, where he was killed.

Police Response 

In the wake of this tragic incident, the Jamaican authorities have launched a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Fitz Bailey said “Our investigation so far has theorized that the murder was a contract killing that emanated from Britain,” he added, “From credible information received Sean Patterson was well known to the UK authorities and has an extensive criminal record for a number of criminal offenses which includes narcotics, violence, and firearms.”

The foreign authorities expressed their deepest condolences to the Patterson family and said they are working with the local authorities to unravel the mysteries behind his death.

A Shock to the Family

The news of his passing has sent shockwaves through his community, leaving family and loved ones grappling with the unimaginable loss.

The Patterson family has also issued a heartfelt plea, urging anyone with knowledge of the incident or the assailant’s identity to come forward. Her mother lamented, “I’ve lost my baby. No mother should have to bury her child. Lesley continued: “He’s a cheeky chappy. I’ll remember him as a star, as my diamond. He’s my last child.”

“We hope for justice and that my son’s killer is taken off the street where they can’t hurt anyone else and destroy another family.”

His fiancee was devastated and is said to be “a complete mess”.

His sister Sarah Wright also paid tribute to the 33-year-old, saying: “To say we are heartbroken is an understatement. You’ll get justice ikkle bro.”
