Date set for start of Albouystown teen murder inquiry

Shamar Harvey

Three months after being deemed fit to stand trial, Shamar Harvey, who is charged with the murder of Albouystown teen Christopher Mansfield, was yesterday given a date for the commencement of the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the charge.

Attorney Ashley Henry had earlier argued that there was need for a further evaluation of the accused, while Police Prosecutor Richard Harris informed the court that based on the wording of the letter that highlighted the defendant’s mental fitness for trial, it would appear that there needs to be a definitive determination of Harvey’s mental illness.
