Request to be returned to Cayman

A Grand Court judge has heard arguments on behalf of convicted murderers Osbourne Douglas and Justin Ramoon, who are challenging their transfer four years ago from Cayman’s Northward prison to a maximum-security jail in the UK.
Douglas and Ramoon, who are brothers, are serving 30 and 33 years, respectively, for the 2015 gang-related shooting of Jason Powery. They were transferred from HMP Northward to HMP Belmarsh in 2017, after being deemed a security risk.
At the time, they sought permission for a judicial review to challenge the transfer. That was eventually granted in 2018 and finally heard in Cayman’s Grand Court on Monday, 26 April 2021.
