The daughter-in-law of a British billionaire was charged with manslaughter by negligence after she fatally shot a Black police officer while under the influence of alcohol.
Jasmine Hartin 32, was denied bail at her arraignment Monday night after fatally shooting San Pedro Superintendent Henry Jemmott in Belize,
Daily Mail reports. Hartin is married to the son of wealthy UK businessman Lord Michael Ashcroft and was spending time in Belize when she ended up hanging out with Jemmott.
The two were partying the night away and defying a COVID-19 curfew on a pier before Jemmott’s body was found floating in the water Friday morning with a bullet wound to the head, police said. Hartin was charged three days after being detained at a court complex in San Pedro described by locals as “hell on earth,”
