In a relatively quick response, detectives from the St Ann Police Division arrested and charged 18-year-old Linchris McBean, otherwise called ‘Fras’, of Dam Head, Steer Town in the parish, with murder, illegal possession of firearm and illegal possession of ammunition, along with wounding with intent, on Friday, January 8.
Dead is 39-year-old Hussein Fletcher, a groundsman of Dam Head, Steer Town.
Fletcher and three other persons in the group were shot, and were subsequently taken to hospital, where Fletcher was pronounced dead, while the other injured persons were admitted for treatment.
An intense investigation was launched, and McBean was arrested and placed on an identification parade, where he was pointed out.
