Police have formally charged the husband of dual Jamaican-American citizen Melissa Samnath in connection with her death last month.
The accused, Dane Watson, had been sought by investigators following the incident involving the 35-year-old woman, who had travelled to Jamaica reportedly to celebrate her birthday with him.
Reports indicate that Samnath was dropped off at Cornwall Regional Hospital on April 29 by Watson. She was later pronounced dead.
Investigators allege that Watson severely assaulted Samnath before taking her to the hospital and leaving the location.
Police further revealed that Samnath and Watson were married in December 2025. Following weeks of investigations, Watson surrendered to authorities on May 15 and was officially charged on May 20.
The Melissa Samnath murder investigation has generated widespread attention both in Jamaica and among members of the diaspora as detectives continue probing the circumstances surrounding her death.
