The man suspected of killing the Jamaican woman in Barbados last Saturday has died.

Reports from the Barbadian police are that 44-year-old Anthony Michael Searles, who was captured on Monday night, died in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after ingesting a poisonous substance.

THE STAR understands that Searles was captured two days after he allegedly chopped the woman, Notoya Ewers, to death near her house in Gemswick, St Philip.
