The police are reporting that Roshane Barnett has been charged with five counts of murder, arising from the gruesome killing of Kemisha Wright and her four children in Coco Piece, Clarendon on Tuesday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the Crime Portfolio, Fitz Bailey, made the announcement moments ago on the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s Twitter account late Friday.
The 23-year-old suspect was arrested late Tuesday night in Wilson Run, Trelawny.
The killing of the family of five – Kemisha Wright and her four children Kimanda Smith, 15; Shara-Lee Smith, 10; Rafaella Smith, 5; and Kishaun Henry, a 23-month-old boy- has left the entire country outraged.
Bailey also urged the public to seek intervention in settling their disputes.
Barnett’s court date is yet to be announced.
