Nephew charged with killing uncle

Samuel Waldo, 40, has been charged with the murder of his 77-year-old uncle, whose dismembered and burnt body was found in bushes in St Andrew.

The remains of Derrick Lindsay were discovered in the community of Cavaliers on Monday, June 6. The police report that Lindsay was last seen alive at his home on Brooks Level Road in Stony Hill, St Andrew, on June 4, and a missing person's report was subsequently filed for him. On June 6, a team from the Stony Hill Police Station, acting on information, carried out a search of an area known as 'Safa Gully' in Cavaliers where the human remains were found.

Waldo was being sought by the police as a prime suspect in the murder. Investigations led to Waldo's house at Brooks Level where blood stains were found inside his home. Two suitcases were also missing from the home shared by the two men. Waldo was subsequently arrested in Half-Way Tree, St Andrew, on June 27. He was subsequently charged following a question-and-answer session. His court date is being finalised.
