A fifteen-year-old   was yesterday charged with being an accessory after the fact of murder in the case of Shonnette Dover.

The teenager appeared at the Linden Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Wanda Fortune via Zoom yesterday afternoon where she was not required to plead.

No bail was sought by the teen’s lawyers after she requested to be remanded to the holding centre which was granted  by the magistrate. She will remain at the centre until May 28, 2021 when she is due to make her next court appearance.

Meanwhile, Shawn Alleyne, the father of the suspect, Shaquawn Alleyne, wanted for the murder of Dover was yesterday released from custody.

The body of Dover was unearthed on Friday morning after the 15-year-old, who allegedly witnessed the killing, gave investigators information that subsequently led to the discovery. Dover was reported missing four weeks ago.

The suspect in the woman’s murder is still at large.

Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Alleyne is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 444-3406, 444-3297, 444-3351, 444-3512 444-24429, 442-0759, 225-3650, 226-1928, 911 or the nearest police station.
