A woman charged for abducting a one-week-old baby boy in St Mary, in 2013, is to be sentenced in the St Mary Circuit Court on Friday, March 31.
The accused woman, Dianna Pinnock pleaded guilty to the charge of abduction of a child under 16, when she appeared before the court on Wednesday morning, March 22.
The name of the child cannot be revealed as he was a minor
A social enquiry report, as well as an antecedent report has been ordered by presiding judge Justice Sarah Thompson-James.
Pinnock was further remanded into custody for sentencing on March 31.
Reports are that the baby boy of Belinda Smith and Donald Martin was reportedly kidnapped from his home about 2:00 am on Thursday, August 22, 2013 by persons who kicked in the door to his family’s home in Valley Bush, near Charles Town in St Mary.
Two days later on Saturday, August 24, the Ocho Rios Police acting on information, raided a house on Old Buckfield Road, Ocho Rios, St Ann, where the child was found allegedly with Pinnock and her companion.
Pinnock is before the courts in St Ann for the killing of a retired post-mistress and abducting her six-week old grandson later that same year.
Pinnock is charged for the murder of retired post mistress 63-year-old Nathlee Hamilton of Beecher Town in St Ann. Hamilton was reportedly stabbed to death on Monday, November 11, 2013 at her home in Beecher Town. Her six-week-old grandson was also abducted. The case attracted huge interest because the child’s mom was the popular Stacey-Ann Ellis, also called Shabba.
The baby was later found alive at about 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday night, November 13, 2013 in a bag near a bar in the Bonham Spring community, near Exchange, Ocho Rios.
