Jamie Chavarria freed of Murder charge
It’s is so frequent it is hardly news—now that cases have been falling apart, but one hearing stood out today. And that’s because of the magnitude of the charge that nineteen year old Jamie Chavarria was freed of in the court of Justice Adolph Lucas. Chavarria was charged along with twenty-six year old Edwin Flowers and twenty-three year old Danny Anderson for the brutal double murder of a couple in 2007. But Crown Counsel Trienia Young entered a nolle prosequi indicating that the prosecution could not proceed. While Chavarria is a free man, the charges against Flowers and Anderson still stand and they are to reappear in court on June twenty-second. The incident dates back March twenty-fifth 2007, when twenty-four year old Keiva Leslie and thirty-two year old Dorian Michael were kidnapped from the Freetown Road Gas Station. The assailants commandeered Michael’s van and took the couple to a feeder road near the Haulover Bridge at mile five on the Western Highway. And that’s where they were executed with a single bullet to back of their heads. Interestingly, they murder took place near another crime scene where police discovered the decomposed body of a man. Two police constables rushed to assist Leslie and Michael, but were helpless without a vehicle and the culprits sped off in the van.
