September 16 court date set for constable Maitland

Noel Maitland, the police officer being tried for the murder of social media influencer Donna-Lee Donaldson, has been remanded until September 16.

This decision was passed down in the Kingston and St Andrew parish court on Monday.

The prosecution is to undertake a further review of materials, including witness statements, and make more disclosure to the defence.

Maitland's attorneys told the court that they need more information to properly advise their client.

No bail application was made.

Earlier, the prosecution informed the court that it intends to have the case against the policeman transferred from the parish court to the Home Circuit Court.

However, the presiding parish court judge said that the matter was not yet at that stage and remanded Maitland until September 16.

The police constable has been in custody since his arrest on July 27 in relation to the disappearance of 24-year-old Donaldson.

Donaldson was last seen at his New Kingston apartment on July 11.

She was reported missing on July 13.

The police had indicated that investigations concluded that Donaldson was killed on July 12 between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

They stated that this was supported by forensic evidence and technology but noted that a motive has not yet been established for the killing.
