KINGSTON, Jamaica — Michael McLean, who is on trial for the 2006 murder of six members of a St Thomas family, was this morning forcefully removed from the Supreme Court after he refused to compose himself.

This was after he verbally attacked a doctor, calling him wicked.

Dr Derrik Jarrett, who is one of two physicians who had treated the accused in custody, was updating the court on McLean’s medical condition.

However, McLean told the court that he had never seen Jarrett as he had refused to be attended by him. He also said one of the doctors had advised that he visit the Kingston Public Hospital this morning, but the doctor did not confirm this.

In the meantime, the doctors told the court that McLean is physically well to continue his trial and that the medication prescribed to treat his physical ailments will not affect his ability to proceed.

The St Thomas resident was arrested in 2006 after he allegedly went on a rampage between February 25 and 26, killing 30-year-old Patrice Martin-McCool, her aunt 40-year-old Terry-Ann Mohammed and her children, five-year-old Jihad McCool, two-year-old Shane Chin, seven-year-old Lloyd McCool, and nine-year-old Jessie Ogilvie.
