Charge downgraded

A murder charge against accused Michael Anthony Brathwaite has been downgraded to manslaughter.

The 49-year-old of Storey Gap, Codrington Hill, St Michael had been charged with murdering Roland Francis on May 24, 2020.

However, when his matter was called before Chief Magistrate Ian Weekes in the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court, Station Sergeant Crishna Graham revealed that the charge had been reduced and the prosecution was serving the accused with disclosure for his committal proceedings.

Brathwaite’s case will resume on January 19, 2022.
