JANET DOUGLAS, the woman who has been charged with the November 24 murder of a policeman's wife, was remanded in custody yesterday when she appeared in the May Pen Resident Magistrate's Court.
She is booked to appear in court again December 18, said Deputy Superintendent Franklyn Mitchell, who is in charge of crime for Clarendon.
The 29-year-old woman was arrested and charged with murder last Tuesday, following investigations into the knife slaying of 32-year-old dressmaker, Isolyn McGill, the wife of a detective constable attached to the Half-Way Tree Police Station in St. Andrew.
Initial reports had stated that Mrs. McGill left her home in Hayes, Clarendon, at about 5:00 p.m. on Friday, November 24, to purchase household items at a supermarket in May Pen. Her body was discovered hours later with multiple stab wounds to the hand, face and back on a dirt road in the Hilly Field district, off the Bustamante Highway.
