A jury has found Kemar Omar Yvonne Leacock guilty of murdering Jermaine Harper ten years ago.
On Wednesday evening, the 12-member jury of 10 women and two men in Supreme Court No. 3 returned a unanimous verdict, indicating that they all believed that the 2nd Avenue, Piedmont Park, Long Gap, Spooner’s Hill, St Michael resident killed 26-year-old Harper, formerly of Wilkinson Road, Richmond Gap, St Michael, on July 30, 2014.
Justice Carlisle Greaves set May 31 as the date for sentencing.
Principal State Counsel Neville Watson and State Counsel Treann Knight prosecuted the matter while defence attorney Safiya Moore represented Leacock.
Kemal Akeem Yarde of Rock Gap, Spooner’s Hill, St Michael, had been jointly accused of the murder but was freed on Tuesday after a successful no-case submission by his attorney, Senior Counsel Angella Mitchell-Gittens.
