WESTERN BUREAU:
A Westmoreland man accused of stabbing his boss and robbing him of $650,000 last October had his bail extended until April 23, when he appeared before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday.
Ricardo Thompson, from Bethel Town, is charged with unlawful wounding and robbery with aggravation.
stabbed in the neck
Allegations are that on October 3, 2013, approximately 6:30 p.m., Thompson, who worked as a sideman on the complainant's delivery truck, was being driven to Railway Lane in Montego Bay. On reaching an intersection, a knife was used to stab the boss in the neck.
During an ensuing struggle, the complainant got hold of the knife and slashed Thompson on his hands. Thompson fled the truck, and it was subsequently discovered that a bag containing $650,000, which was in the truck, was missing. Thompson later turned himself in to the police and was charged.
Clerk of the court, Natalie Malcolm, asked presiding magistrate Carolyn Tie to examine the complainant's medical certificate, which was on hand, and determine if the matter could be dealt with in the criminal court.
It was subsequently revealed that the complainant was to do follow-up treatment, so an additional medical certificate would be needed for the case file.
