Prominent cult leader Kelvin Smith has died in a horrific car accident.
The cult leader has been in custody since Sunday after two of his followers were killed in a “human sacrifice” ritual.
The accident took place on Monday morning while police were transporting Smith from Montego Bay to Kingston where he was set to be formally charged in connection with the murders.
Head of Jamaica’s Constabulary Forces communication unit, Senior Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, confirmed the death of Smith and a police officer along the Bog Walk main road.
As head of his Pathways International Kingdom Restoration Ministries, Smith was arrested last week after police swooped down on his church in Montego Bay in response to a report that a human sacrifice was taking place in the church, where more than 100 followers had gathered, dressed in white robes.
