THE policeman who was taken into custody recently in relation to the death of Corporal Judith Williams will have to stay another week in custody following a court order.

Senior Parish Judge Judith Pusey made the order yesterday in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court after the policeman’s attorney Kemar Robinson made a habeas corpus application.

Robinson told the court that his client has been detained and to date had not been charged, and also argued that his client participated in an identification parade and was not pointed out.

The attorney stressed that his client was arrested on a charge of assault and that the complainant had no interest in the matter.

The court heard that another identification parade is to be held.

However, the assault case would not be brought before the court until after the identification parade is held.

Subsequently to setting a May 26 date for the matter to be brought back to court, Pusey said that she was giving the officer enough time to conduct his investigation.

Fifty-four-year-old Williams, who was assigned to the Office of the Commissioner of Police, was shot on April 28 several times in her Franklyn Town, east Kingston community while she was on her way to work.

It was reported that Williams was at a bus stop approximately 6:30 am when two men armed with guns shot her multiple times before escaping on a motorcycle.

Williams succumbed to her injuries the following day after she underwent several surgeries.
