Two charged for gun attack on policeman and his family in St. James

 
Detectives assigned to the Major Investigations Division (FID) have charged two persons in connection with the deadly gun attack on a policeman and his family in St. James. 
 
They are 38-year-old businesswoman Trafficia Malcolm-Demontagnac, otherwise called 'Traff' of a Catherine Hall in the parish, and 23-year-old plummer, Kadean Nathan of Bethel Town, Westmoreland. 
 
They are charged with murder, wounding with intent, using a prohibited weapon to commit a felony, conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to commit wounding with intent, and conspiracy to use a prohibited weapon to commit a felony. 
 
The police say a third accused, 24-year-old Orlando Thomas, a carpenter of Argyle Mount in Westmoreland, was fatally shot during a confrontation with officers in St. James on August 13.
 
Following an investigation, the businesswoman was taken into custody during an operation in Burnt Ground, Ramble, Hanover. 
 
Mr. Nathan turned himself into the police and was charged, along with Mrs. Malcolm-Demontagnac. They reportedly both gave caution statements outlining their involvement in the incident. 
 
A court date is being arranged. 
 
Thirty-six-year-old Latoya Stephenson of West Village, St. James was killed in the August 9 attack, while her spouse, who is a policeman, and their child are nursing bullet wounds.
