Siblings charged for alleged attack on teenage girl

Several charges have been laid against a brother and sister in relation to an alleged attack on a teenager on Old Port Henderson Road, St Catherine, on August 22.

Eighteen-year-old Tamera Thomas of Garbally drive, Spanish Town, has been charged with wounding with intent.

Her brother, Akeem Thomas, a 24-year-old porter and delivery assistant, has been charged with assault at common law, possession of prohibited weapon and using a firearm to commit a felony.

The Spanish Town police say about 6 p.m., Tamera and other relatives visited a teenage girl's house and an argument developed.

The argument escalated, and a fight broke out.

During the fracas the girl received a stab wound to her back.

After the initial incident, Akeem allegedly went to the teen's house, grabbed her and pointed a firearm at her.

A report was made to the police, and the two were taken into custody a day later, where they were subsequently charged.

A court date is being arranged for them.
