Attorney Oswest Senior-Smith
Attorney Oswest Senior-Smith, who is representing the district constable who reportedly refused to give a statement to investigators probing the disappearance of Donna-Lee Donaldson, says he has been informed by the Police High Command that his client is not a suspect in the case.
Mr. Senior-Smith on Wednesday told the media that his client was told she was a suspect after she reportedly declined to give a statement in the absence of an attorney.
But speaking with Radio Jamaica News on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Senior-Smith said he had spoken with Deputy Commissioner Fitz Bailey earlier and was told that his client is not considered a suspect.
"I think I can safely say that my impression is from this conversation that my client is categorically not a suspect in any untoward behaviour or activity," he said, noting that DCP Bailey "may very well be back in the public space" soon to give an update on the situation.
Miss Donaldson was reported missing last week after she visited her boyfriend, who is a member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force.
The boyfriend is said to share a child with the female district constable.
Death threats
Mr. Senior-Smith said the district constable and members of her family have been receiving death threats.
"One was brought to my attention this morning, which was on social media and apparently tagged the Jamaica Constabulary Force; and it was made in a forthright and direct way that she was going to be murdered and it went on to say that whoever this person is, that nothing could be done to him or them - whoever was going to carry out that act," he shared.
The attorney disclosed that he filed a complaint with Deputy Commissioner Fitz Bailey on Thursday morning.
He said the district constable has also filed a formal complaint with the police about the threats.
