Omar Collymore and Simone Campbell Collymore
It was revealed in court on Tuesday afternoon that businessman Omar Collymore, who is accused of orchestrating the January 2018 murder of his wife Simone Campbell Collymore, was one of the beneficiaries of her $120 million life insurance policy.
Mr. Collymore and his three co-defendants, Michael Adams, Dwyane Pink and Shaquile Edwards, are being tried for the murder of the woman and her taxi driver Winston Watson.
Mrs. Campbell Collymore's mother testified that she found the policy in the couple's office after her daughter's death. She said the couple's two children were the other beneficiaries of the life insurance policy.
It was reported that on January 2, 2018, Mr. Watson was transporting Mrs. Campbell Collymore home when gunmen opened fire on the vehicle along Stanley Terrace in Red Hills, St. Andrew.
Mr. Collymore was arrested at Norman Manley International Airport, a day before his wife's funeral.
In March 2021, one of his co-accused, 24-year-old Wade Blackwood, was sentenced to life imprisonment after pleading guilty to killing Mrs. Campbell Collymore and Mr. Watson.
