A man charged for stabbing another to death during a dispute in Highgate, St Mary is to settle his legal representation by his next court date.
The accused man, Jahvoy Johnson appeared before the St Mary Parish Court on Thursday, November 2.
Johnson was charged in connection with the June 17, 2016 murder of Shamar Smith, otherwise called ‘Denver’, of Capture Land, Highgate, St Mary.
Reports from the Highgate Police are that about 12:30 p.m., Smith was involved in an altercation with Johnson, when a knife was used to stab him. The police were summoned and Smith was assisted to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
As was the case on the last court date in May, then on June 15 and again on September 7, the prosecution revealed that the post-mortem report was not ready.
Johnson had his bail extended to return to court on February 8, 2018 by senior parish judge Yvette Wentworth-Miller.
