Police were last night questioning a man in connection with the slaying of Trevor Berbick, the first Jamaican boxer to hold a world heavyweight title, who was found dead at his gate in Norwich, two miles west of Port Antonio in Portland yesterday morning.

It is believed that Berbick, 52, was attacked and chopped to death by a person using a sharp instrument as he walked home from a nearby bar at around 3:00 am.
A resident of the area found the body with four chop wounds to the back of the head and notified the Port Antonio police at around 6:00 am.

The police have not yet established a motive for the killing and according to Constabulary Communication Network (CCN) officer, Corporal Duane Campbell, robbery has been ruled out.

"A hundred dollar bill was found near the body, but this does not suggest the motive was robbery. In fact, robbery has been ruled out so far," Campbell told the Sunday Observer.
"The police are still searching the area for clues but nothing has been found yet," Campbell said at around 2:30 pm yesterday.

1. Hey Undergroundrailroad. I remember Trevor Berbick well in

both his fights with Ali and Mike Tyson. It's a shame that he came to such a sad end and his legacy will speak mostly of the bad. There is some good to the man and with time hopefully the talent that he had will emerge as a positive aspect of this gifted boxer.

2. Wow. It's hard to believe that he was the last man who fought Ali in

the ring.

The one time champion came to a horrific end. That is very sad.

RIP Trevor.
