KINGSTON, Jamaica (UPI): Jamaica's best-known gay rights activist was found dead from a series of stab wound, local news sources reported Thursday. Police are reportedly searching for the two men Brian Williamson was seen speaking with at his home just hours before his death, the Jamaican Observer reported Thursday.
"At this time the police are theorizing robbery to be the motive as a money safe he had is missing and the apartment was ransacked," said Cpl. Devon Hugh Williams of the Constabulary Communication Network. "(But we have) a strong lead that there were two men at the apartment earlier in the morning."
However, gay rights groups in the Caribbean nation alleged it was a hate crime. Jamaica has an international reputation for its intolerance of homosexuals.
