At the time of this blog post, 8 persons have appeared in court (which may have resulted in them being charged, convicted, et cetera), for 6 of the 19 homicides that I documented in 2023. As time permits, I will review past homicide posts and find out – via Google searches and media reports – if persons were identified and brought to court for said killings.
The Table below provides details on those who were killed and those who were charged:
From the above Table:
- 8 persons were associated with 6 of the 19 homicides.
- 4 persons were from St. Michael, while the other 4 were from Christ Church, St. James, St. John and St. Philip.
- Average age of those appearing in court = 24 years old.
- The youngest person to appear in court was 20-year-old Victor Martin Hoyte in connection with the killing of Mitchell Nicholls in December 2023.
- The eldest was 37-year-old Alex Damian Burnett in connection with the killing of Hendy Greaves on September 7 2023.
- Within 30 days, for each of the 6 killings, persons were brought before the courts.
