Prosecution makes closing arguments in Maitland murder trial
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The prosecution is now making closing arguments to the seven-member jury in the Noel Maitland murder trial, drawing the case that has been going on since May 2025 closer to an end.
Maitland is on trial for murder and preventing the lawful burial of a corpse in relation to the July 12, 2022 disappearance of his then-girlfriend Donna-Lee Donaldson.
Donaldson was last seen at the Chelsea Manor Apartments in St Andrew, where Maitland lived.
Maitland has maintained his innocence throughout the trial, which is taking place at the Home Circuit Court in downtown Kingston.
