Jamaica: Woman accused of killing her sister continues to evade cops
The police withheld the suspect's identity at the time of the incident on September 21 and are still not ready to name her.
According to Senior Superintendent of Police Marlon Nesbeth, who heads the St Andrew Central Police Division, they may decide to publish her identity in short order if she does not turn herself in.
Nesbeth appealed to members of her family to help convince her to come out of hiding.
"She is still outstanding. Despite the efforts, she has been elusive. We are going to publicise her and seek the assistance of the public to locate her.
"We want to advise her and, by extension, the family members that it would be in her best interest at this time to come in. It is only best that she follows the process and answer to the matter within the courts," Nesbeth said yesterday.
After she allegedly stabbed Martin, cops received information that suggested that the suspect, who fled the scene, had sought refuge in an inner-city community near Little Kew Road. However, she was not at the location when the police arrived.
The police report was that Martin, who is referred to by friends as "Tanesha", allegedly had a disagreement with the sister, and it escalated into a fight during which a knife was used to cut Martin's throat.
According to sources close to the family, the argument developed over Martin's niece, who allegedly had run away from home.
Reminiscing on fun times, he said he shared with Martin, a Portmore resident told that they were "very close" friends.
Pointing to items inside his house, including a stove, a tent, and pots, the man, who asked that his name be withheld, said he shipped them into the island for himself and Martin to start a food and drink business.
"Mi brethren dem come from foreign the other day, and dem see a di first dem ever eat turn cornmeal. She [had] whipped it up for them. Right now, they are grieving because they were planning to come back in December for her to cook again. She used her hands tu'n fashion, and she was a very likeable person. She has a bubbly spirit and is always laughing. If music a play, she dances and a laugh, and she was known to speak her mind," he said.
