Fawazz McRae

Fawazz McRae, a 27-year-old businessman/contractor of Lot 1231 Central’s Amelia’s Ward, Linden, was on Wednesday charged with the murder of 32-year old Police Sergeant Jermaine Semple, who was shot in the head.

The accused appeared at the Linden Magistrate’s Court before Magistrate Wanda Fortune, where the murder charge was read to him. He was not required to plead and was remanded to prison after bail was denied.

Semple, his brother Dervon Semple and cousin McRae, were at the Crown and Anchor Grill and Bar when a fight erupted between the Semple and his brother.
