Anwar Jack is assisting police with investigations into the death of Bishp Ian Enoch.

Following Enoch’s death, it was revealed that police had detained Anwar Jack, a 24-year-old unemployed man of Georgetown and that he was assisting them with their investigations into Enoch’s killing.

Police officers on patrol in Glen in the wee hours of Saturday morning came upon Jack who was walking in the rain. When they questioned him, he told them he was on his way to Georgetown.

The police also reported that they thought Jack was acting suspiciously and as a result took him to the Calliaqua Police Station.

It has been reported that on Saturday morning, Jack told police officers that he had killed Enoch and his body was at the Cayo village in Argyle.

It has also been reported that Jack told police officers that Enoch had, a few weeks ago, drugged him, and had non-consensual sex with him and when Enoch called him to meet up on Friday night, he had made up his mind to kill the 50-year-old man so he walked with a sharpened cutlass.

When contacted via telephone on Monday, Enoch’s wife refused to comment on her husband’s demise.

Relatives and friends of Bishop Ian Enoch as well as members of the Spiritual Baptist faith gathered at the Calliaqua Police Station on Saturday after it was learnt that the body of the 50-year-old clergyman had been discovered in a hut at the Cayo Village at Argyle and that a young man was being questioned in relation to the murder.

“Let me tell aryo this straight up eh, aryo done diss my program and me nah wah hear nothing from none aryo,” the widow commented to a SEARCHLIGHT reporter.

She described as “shit” the negative comments on social media about her husband and stressed that persons were saying things that she knew nothing about.

“None aryo nah humbug me right about now, but me know plenty aryo ah pay for aryo mouth,” the angry woman told SEARCHLIGHT.

She further commented, “Aryo too wicked…them too wicked…and aryo cah diss my husband like that. Nobody cah get me to say nothing wrong about him, he nah deserve that.”

She was encouraged to hang up the phone by someone in the room with her which she did.

On Monday, Commissioner of Police (COP) Colin John issued a press statement informing that a post mortem was expected to be carried out on Enoch’s body and that Jack was still in custody.
