Security guard implicated in ‘Slickianna’ murder case to get court date

Rohan Rose, the security guard implicated in the murder of social media influencer Aneka ‘Slickianna’ Townsend, is to get a trial date set by the St James Circuit Court.

Rose was charged with the misprision of a felony, which is when someone knows a felony has been committed but fails to inform the authorities.

He is expected to return to court on May 5.

Rose, who is represented by attorney Martyn Thomas, got the new court date and had his bail extended by presiding High Court Justice Judith Pusey when he appeared before the court today.

The prosecution is expected to agree on a trial date with attorney Thomas when the matter is mentioned again on May 5.

Rose was arrested and charged on November 4 last year under allegations that he failed to inform the police that Rushawn Patterson, the man charged with Townsend’s murder, had confessed to him about killing the now-deceased woman.
