Court orders release of teenage murder suspect
The teenage son of a reputed former New World Order gang leader is to be immediately released from police custody.
Chief Parish Judge Chester Crooks on Friday morning ordered the police to release the teenager following a habeas corpus application by attorney-at-law Donahue Martin.
He was detained on November 5 in relation to a murder.
But Martin during the application, which started last week Friday in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court, told the judge that his client had given an alibi during the question and answer session, indicating that he was overseas at the time the murder was committed.
The teen's father, Horace Ramsay, better known as 'Pugu' or 'Brown Man' was killed by members of the security forces during an alleged shootout on January 7, 2011, in Southside in Kingston.
Ramsay's death triggered a protest with residents claiming that he was killed in cold blood while he slept in bed with his girlfriend.
