The St Ann police have confirmed that a Trelawny taxi operator who was arrested on Wednesday morning, as the prime suspect in the murder of a popular Canadian female events promoter, whose partially decomposed body was discovered last week, inside her room at an apartment complex located in Runaway Bay, St Ann, has been charged with murder.
He has been identified as 33-year-old Rogen Hylton, and he was picked up during a joint operation carried out in Rio Bueno community, in the parish on Wednesday, January 27.
Hylton was being sought by the police for questioning in connection with the murder of 43-year-old Latoya Alcindor, of Markham in Ontario, Canada.

He was officially charged on Thursday, January 28.
