Ashley Williams, a resident of Denham Town has been charged with the murder of 47-year-old David Rowe of Septimus Street in Jones Town.

Her 22-year-old boyfriend Jovanie Thomas was also charged with murder.

Reports are that on November 30, 2022, Rowe was approached by Williams and Thompson while at his home on Septimus Street.

Reports are an altercation then developed, and Williams used a knife and stabbed Rowe several times. Thompson then pulled out a gun and shot him.

Rowe was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

It is reported that Ashley Williams was in the Cayman Islands on a work permit when officials in the British Overseas Territory found out she was a person of interest in a murder case.

Her visa was revoked, and she was taken into custody on New Year’s Day.  She was deported to Jamaica and handed over to local authorities on January 5.

Thompson was apprehended in Manchester after being identified as a person of interest by the police in December.
