A St. Man labourer was on Friday charged for murder, following a series of thorough investigations by the St. Ann police.

Charged for murder is Oshae Francis otherwise called ‘Shaker’, a 30-year-old labourer of Stony Hill in Lewis district, St. Ann.

Francis was charged for the May 23rd, murder of 23-year-old Mark Campbell otherwise called ‘Nick’, also of Stony Hill in the parish.

Police reports are that Francis and Campbell had a dispute in the community and residents mediated.

Campbell was pronounced dead at hospital; Francis fled the area.

According to the police, the relentless efforts of investigators led to his arrest after a month and a half search.

His court date is being finalised.
