Leoda Bradshaw and Roland Balfour, the other two people accused in the murder of Jamaican Parliamentarian Phillip Paulwell’s 10-month-old daughter and her mother, have been remanded until early 2024.
On Friday, a Supreme Court Judge ordered the two to return to court on March 6, 2024.
During Friday’s hearing, the court was informed that the prosecution’s case file is incomplete. According to reports, the forensic material, forensic certificate and statements from investigators were not on file. When the two make their next court appearance, it is expected that all outstanding documents will be available and disclosed to the defense team.
Judge Vinnette Graham-Allen ordered that on or before January 31, the statements from investigators should be submitted. The forensic material and certificate were ordered to be submitted on or before February 29.
Bradshaw and Balfour were charged with murder and other offences in relation to the abduction and killing of 27-year-old Toshyna Patterson and her 10-month-old daughter Sarayah Paulwell in September.
Bradshaw, who shares a child with Phillip Paulwell, has been charged with two counts of conspiracy to murder, two counts of conspiracy to kidnapping, two counts of kidnapping, and two counts of murder. Balfour, the cousin of Bradshaw, faces similar charges.
The other two men that were implicated in the double murder were sentenced last month.
Richard Brown, a 31-year-old graphic artist from Kingston, was sentenced to 30 years in prison on each of the two counts of murder for the killing of baby Sarayah and her mother.
He was also sentenced to one year and 10 months in prison on each of the two counts of kidnapping of the mother and daughter. The sentences are to be served concurrently and he has been ordered to serve 20 years before he is eligible for parole.
Brown’s accomplice, Roshane Miller, was sentenced to serve seven years and 10 months for each count of accessory before the fact to murder; two years and 10 months for each count of conspiracy to kidnap; and one year and 10 months for misprision of felony. The sentences are to run concurrently.
