A former member of the Jamaica Fire Brigade, who was accused of killing his mother-in-law in January 2024 and burying her remains in Claremont, St. Ann, pleaded guilty to the capital charge when his trial began in the St. Ann Circuit Court last Wednesday.
Dwayne Simpson, 41, was charged with a murder of 63-year-old Maxine Parkinson.
Ms. Parkinson failed to return home on the night of Monday, January 8, 2024, and a report was subsequently made to the police who launched an investigation.
Simpson was held two days later.
He took the police to a secluded area in Nine Palm, near Harmony Vale in Claremont, where the gruesome discovery was made of Ms. Parkinson's body with several chop wounds.
Simpson was subsequently charged with murder.
At the start of the circuit trial last Wednesday, he pleaded guilty before High Court Justice Simone Wolfe-Reece.
He will be sentenced next week.
