St Catherine, Jamaica News: Brother and Sister Freed – A brother and sister from the parish of St. Catherine were acquitted of murder charges when they appeared before the St. Catherine Circuit Court on Friday.
The siblings, Nordia Murphy and Junior Edwards, both of Job Lane in Spanish Town, were cleared of charges related to the February 2, 2019, stabbing death of 49-year-old Dave Facey, also of Job Lane and with a St. Elizabeth address.
During the court appearance, their attorneys, Earl Hamilton and Jon-Paul Hamilton, argued that there were no eyewitnesses linking the siblings to the killing, no witnesses appeared in court, and there was no connection to hold the two accused responsible for Facey’s murder.
Reports indicate that Facey was accused of robbing cash from a bar operated by the female accused. On the day in question, he was chased by an angry mob along St. John’s Road but was rescued by a resident who later assisted him home.
Hours later, Facey was discovered stabbed to death at his home. Following an investigation by the police, Murphy and her brother were arrested and charged for his death.
