Investigators assigned to the St Thomas Division have secured convictions for manslaughter, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of identity information in a series of rulings by the St Thomas Circuit Court between January 14 and January 20.

In the first ruling, Khamoy Harrison, who was arrested and charged with illegal possession of firearm and ammunition in August 2022, was convicted on both charges when the matter was brought before the court on Wednesday, January 14, 2026.

Although Harrison initially pleaded not guilty, the evidence presented and the police’s testimony proved decisive, and on Monday, January 19, the presiding Judge delivered a verdict of guilty on both counts. He was remanded in custody and is scheduled to be sentenced on Thursday, January 29.

In another case that was before the court, Dexter Morrison, who was charged with murder stemming from a February 2013 incident, appeared before the court on Tuesday, January 20, 2026. He pleaded not guilty to murder but offered a plea of guilty to manslaughter, which was accepted. He was subsequently sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment at hard labour.

That same day, Kymani Webster appeared in court to answer to charges related to possession of identity information from two separate incidents. In September 2022, he was charged with two counts, pleading guilty to one and not guilty to the other. He also faced another count in August 2023, for which he pleaded guilty.

Webster’s bail was extended, and he is scheduled to be sentenced for both matters on Wednesday, January 28.

Crime officer for the division, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Jovaine Williams, said investigators are working to ensure citizens are safe and that criminals face the consequences of their actions.

“These convictions reflect the strength of the evidence and the dedication of officers who worked tirelessly to bring those responsible to justice; however, this outcome sends a clear message that criminal activity will not be tolerated, and those who break the law will be held accountable. We hope these convictions provide reassurance to the community and demonstrate our ongoing commitment to keeping citizens safe,” said DSP Williams.
