KINGSTON, Jamaica — Jubilation has engulfed the camp of dancehall entertainer Munga Honourable, after he and his murder co-accused were set free on Friday.
The prosecution in the case offered no further evidence against Munga, whose given name is Damian Rhodes, and Sheridan Gordon in relation to the 2017 murder of Cleveland Smith in Ackee Walk in St Andrew.
The Jamaica Observer understands that the men were freed following too many inconsistencies in the testimony of the sole eyewitness in the trial, which started last week. She completed her evidence on the witness stand on Thursday.
Munga was represented by attorney-at-law Christopher Townsend and Chadwyk Berry while Gordon was represented by King’s Counsel Peter Champagne and Sayeed Bernard.
More details to come.
