A father is currently on the run after his daughter’s body was found floating in the waters of the Dump Up Beach in Montego Bay, St James, Tuesday morning.

Loop News understands that a man, said to be the father, called a family member to say he was going to kill his daughter and dump her body at the beach.

He also threatened to kill himself, Loop News understands.
