UPDATE: Family will not stop protesting, says missing Donna-Lee’s uncle

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Uncle to missing Donna-Lee Donaldson, Neil Lugg, says the family will not stop protesting until justice is brought to those involved in her disappearance.

Lugg made the comment during a protest outside the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Thursday, after it was presumed that Donaldson’s boyfriend, Constable Noel Maitland, who was charged murder in connection to her disappearance, was scheduled to appear in court.

This was later proved to be false, as Maitland is to appear in court on Friday, August 12.

READ: Noel Maitland now set to make court appearance on Friday

“Yuh see mi out here? Mi wah find my niece and mi wah hear something ‘bout mi niece and mi wah see [the] Jamaica Constabulary Force members dem weh nuh clean, ‘cause you know you have good cops, the dirty police dem, a dem we wah shake down. We nah stop come out here until the relevant authority start fi do things weh ensure the cops dem in a di force is on track,” an impassioned Lugg told OBSERVER ONLINE.

Adding that he believes police are able to get away with committing crimes, as they do not “come under no scrutiny,” Lugg charged, “dem live any lifestyle, dem drive any car, dem live a any apartment weh dem pay can’t even pay for in a two year, and nobody at all come out to question [them].”

“A little police like all Noel weh a get a little $90,000 a month, how him pay fi a $5-million BMW? How him live in a one apartment weh apartments range from $140,000 to $180,000 a month? How him get time fi be a full time producer and a full time cop? That can’t [be] possible, because you affi be a full time producer fi a mek dem money deh and a live dem life deh,” he argued.

Maitland was slapped with a murder charge on July 12 following an investigation after Donaldson was reported missing. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Fitz Bailey, confirmed during a press conference, theorising that Donaldson was murdered.

Donaldson’s body has not been recovered.

Police reports indicated that on July 11, about 10:00 pm, she was picked up at her house by Maitland in a black BMW motor car to spend the night with Maitland at an apartment located at Chelsea Manor. However, the next day Donaldson’s mother, Sophia Lugg, reported to police that she had not seen or heard from her daughter.
