Maitland guilty!

Cop convicted with murder of Donna-Lee Donaldson

Police constable Noel Maitland has been found guilty of the murder of his girlfriend, Donna-Lee Donaldson. The verdict was delivered moments ago following weeks of testimonies in the closely watched trial at the Home Circuit Court.

He was also convicted of preventing the lawful burial of a corpse in relation to the July 12, 2022 disappearance of his 24-year-old girlfriend.

Donaldson, who was a social media influencer, call centre employee and entrepreneur, was last seen at the Chelsea Manor Apartments in St Andrew where Maitland lived.
