A man who went to police telling them that he was held up at gun point and robbed has been found to have been lying and that he in fact committed a murder.
Arrested and charged for murder and creating public mischief is twenty-two-year-old Romario Phillips of Old Harbour in St. Catherine.
Police said Phillips gave a false report to the Old Harbour Police on Monday, June 15.
Reports are that about 3:30 p.m., Phillips reported to the police that he was held up at gun point by three men and robbed of his grey 2012 Nissan Note motorcar in Greater Portmore, St. Catherine.
The Corporate Communications Unit (CCU) said an investigation was launched which revealed that Phillips was not held up at gunpoint and his motor was not stolen. They said the car was used by Phillips in the commission of a murder on the Christian Gardens main road, Portmore, St. Catherine on same day. Phillips was subsequently arrested and charged with murder and creating public mischief.
His court date is being finalised.
