The sister of the police constable who was implicated in the beheading of a taxi operator in St. Ann last month, has been charged with murder and conspiracy to murder.

Roxanne Peart, 21, is scheduled to appear in the St. Ann’s Bay Resident Magistrate’s Court on Thursday to answer to the charges.

Her brother Constable Jeffrey Peart is also booked for court on Thursday.

He was charged last Wednesday following a ruling by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The police say the father of the suspects, who was also arrested, has been released without charge.

The headless body of taxi- operator Delroy Frame was found in Wild Cane District, in Cave Valley, St. Ann, on May 19.
