Mahaicony murder accused now facing manslaughter charge

Omeka Henry who was committed to stand trial five years ago for the murder of her partner, was yesterday granted $50,000 bail by Justice Winston Patterson when she made her first appearance facing the lesser charge of manslaughter.

Justice Patterson acceded to the granting of bail shortly after defence counsel Simone Morris-Ramlall informed the court that she only found out two days prior that her client was indicted for manslaughter and not murder
