Probes ongoing into deaths of infant, 9-y-o

Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey says a file will be sent to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for guidance on how to proceed in the case involving the one-year-old girl who died after being left for hours in her father’s vehicle last month.

That revelation was made during a Jamaica Constabulary Force press conference on Tuesday.

A change in the routine of the toddler’s father, Sergeant Sheldon Dobson, is said to have resulted in her death after he reportedly forgot to drop her off at day care.

The child was normally left in the care of her grandmother, but when the elderly woman fell ill, the infant was enrolled in day care.

Meanwhile, Bailey said the investigation into the slaying of nine-year-old Gabriel King was also ongoing.

“It is delicate and I do not want to make much comment. We are using our resources to ensure that whoever is responsible for that murder is brought to justice,” he said.

Gabriel was allegedly abducted from his mother along the Tucker main road in St James on January 13 and later discovered with his throat slashed in the back seat of the stolen vehicle, which was abandoned off Fairfield main road in Montego Bay.
