\"\"<\/a>Kurt McCartney, brother of DNA Leader Branville McCartney, was murdered and his own vehicle was used to run over his body.<\/p>\n

According to family members, Kurt had received a phone call earlier that night from a young woman who had allegedly threatened to kill him. He was said to have informed a close friend that he was going to “deal” with the matter and left to visit the girl in Gambier.<\/p>\n

When he arrived at the home, it is believed that he was assaulted by a male who was described as a “Rasta”.\u00a0 It is not clear how this is known, since it would have required a witness at the scene, yet no witness has been identified.<\/p>\n

It is rumoured that Kurt was then shot in the head.<\/p>\n

It is believed that the young woman, with a female companion sped off in Kurt\u2019s vehicle \u2013 running over his body.\u00a0 At press time last night, an image of his bloodied body was already making the rounds on Facebook.<\/p>\n

Kurt\u2019s vehicle was found almost 200 yards East of the scene \u2013 at the corner of Bahamia West \u2014 abandoned on the side of the road.<\/p>\n

According to a neighbour at that location, security footage showed that the two young women got out of the vehicle, walked along the beach, and were picked up by another car some distance up the road.<\/p>\n

Lots of holes in this story.\u00a0 It is highly unlikely that the truth of Kurt’s murder will be made public.<\/p>\n
