Female murder accused gets bail

Female murder accused gets bail

The businesswoman accused of killing a man at the Constant Spring Arcade in Kingston was Monday granted bail in the sum of $200,000 when she appeared in the Gun Court section of the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court.

Katherine Spencer, 43, is charged with the murder of 48-year-old Barrington Walton.

Police reported that on September 28 about 4:30 pm Walton, a resident of Westmoreland, and Spencer, a licensed firearm holder, were involved in an altercation when he was shot dead.

Following a ruling from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, Spencer was charged last Tuesday.

She is to return to court on January 13 next year.
