Argument ends in stabbing death of Westmoreland man

Thirty-one-year-old Sadesie Johnson, otherwise called 'TJ' of White Hall, Negril, Westmoreland, has been charged on Wednesday with the murder of a man in the parish.

Dead is 25-year-old Dorrel Thomas, a bartender of White Hall Avenue, in the parish.

Reports from the police are that at about 12:50 a.m. on Saturday, Thomas and Johnson were at an establishment when a dispute developed between the two.
