SIX Jamaicans have been listed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Force as wanted for manslaughter and immigration offences.

The website www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/ identified the Jamaicans as Norman Needham, Germaine Lindo, Corie Bygrave, Eton Dacosta, Clifford Davis and Samora Edwards.

The Canadian police say Needham was among a group of men, including the victim Dave Sylvester Francis, who were in a car returning to an address in Toronto when Needham shot and killed Francis with a handgun. The victim’s body was dumped over the guardrail of a highway on-ramp and was discovered three weeks later.

In April 1993, an arrest warrant was issued charging Needham with manslaughter. He is believed to have fled to Jamaica.

He is five feet eight inches tall and weighs 150 lbs (68 kg). He has a mole on the right side of his nose and a scar on the left side of face. He goes by the aliases 'Norman Washington Yee' and 'Shanky Needham'.

Lindo is wanted for the October 1993 manslaughter of 20-month-old Candace DaSilva.

The child was brought to an emergency room by her mother Rose Mary DaSilva and Lindo who is the stepfather. The child was suffering from severe burns that resulted from forced immersion in scalding water. She died a month later as a result of her injuries.

DaSilva was arrested and charged with manslaughter in the death of the child and a Canada-wide warrant was issued for Lindo, charging him with manslaughter.
