Vincent Dunn, the ex-boyfriend of 27-year-old McKedia Hudson who died after the car he was driving plunged into the Rio Cobre in the Bog Walk Gorge in St Catherine, was remanded in custody when he appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court last Friday.

Hudson, 33, has been charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and breaches of the Disaster Risk Management Act.

Last Friday, Parish Court Judge Desiree Allyene was told that the police are doing further investigations and that other criminal charges would be proffered against Dunn. As a result, he was ordered remanded until tomorrow when he is to reappear.
