A policeman, who is under investigation for fatally shooting a man of unsound mind in St Mary , has been charged in relation to the incident.
The police constable identified as Jeffory Graham was placed before the St Mary Parish Court, to answer to a murder charge.
These charges were as a result of an investigation by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) and a ruling by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
INDECOM reported that Graham was charged in relation to the fatal shooting of Everton Moore on September 12, 2019, in Port Maria, St Mary.
It was reported that officers were sent on an assignment, where a naked man allegedly of unsound mind (Everton Moore) was causing damage to property.
Jerome Forrester
Even as a mother and sister remain in police custody charged with the murder of their relative, at least three persons residing in St Mary are of the view that the alleged killers should not return to their home community of Tank Lane in Oracabessa, where the macabre-style killing occurred.
And likewise, the St Mary residents believe the duo should not be granted bail by the court, despite them being nowhere near a trial for their alleged crimes.
Twenty-six-year-old Jerome Forrester, otherwise called ‘Mop Head’, of Tank Lane, Oracabessa, St Mary was murdered on Christmas Day last year, the police reported.
Highgate, St Mary
Chinese businessman Haman Huang was yesterday fined approximately $4.6 million for breaches of the Building Act regarding a four-storey building in Highgate, St Mary, on which he will have to carry out significant demolition work if it is to be approved by the authorities.
The decision was handed down in the St Mary Parish Court yesterday in what Port Maria Mayor Richard Creary has described as a “landmark ruling”.
The St Mary Municipal Corporation had previously served several stop order notices on the businessman in the initial stages when the breaches were first identified, but construction work still progressed on the structure.
