Murder Investigation: A 35-year-old New York woman, Melissa Kerry Samnath, was beaten to death in Jamaica while celebrating her birthday, and police are now hunting her husband, Dane Watson, after she was allegedly wheeled to Cornwall Regional Hospital and pronounced dead; her family says they first learned of her death via a phone call from the suspect’s mother, and her last WhatsApp message urged them to “call the cops” and pointed to a “pink house.” Tourism & Money: Sandals is pouring $200 million into three Jamaica resorts, with Sandals Montego Bay and Royal Caribbean reopening Nov. 18 and South Coast Dec. 18. Local Business: Bank of Jamaica has launched a tender for a new business continuity centre near the French Embassy on Hillcrest Ave. Community Pulse: Queens Taste drew record crowds at LIC’s Sound River Studios, spotlighting Queens restaurants and bars. Ongoing Debate: A viral argument over whether Jamaicans have “free access” to beaches is reigniting attention on how the Beach Control Act shapes access.
