A 24-year-old construction worker has been ordered to remain in custody at Dodds Prison following his court appearance on serious criminal charges stemming from a violent incident in Cave Hill earlier this month. Jahmali Jahwaun Irell Greenidge, residing at Lower Bridge Gap, Cave Hill, St Michael, faced the District ‘A’ Magistrates’ Court No. 2 on Thursday to answer charges related to the fatal stabbing of 75-year-old Nigel Gibbs on March 1.
The defendant additionally faces two counts of causing serious bodily harm with intent to maim, disfigure, or disable Morgan Nelson and Raymond Lane during the same incident. All charges brought against Greenidge are indictable offenses, and no pleas were entered during the preliminary hearing.
Presiding Magistrate Manila Renee authorized the remand to Dodds Prison while the case undergoes further judicial processing. Defense attorney Kristin Vanderpool formally requested that her client undergo psychiatric assessment during his detention at the correctional facility. The court has scheduled Greenidge’s next appearance for April 9, when proceedings will continue.
