Two St Thomas women are expected to face the court in April to answer to a charge of murder, after they were implicated in the killing of a taxi operator in the parish.
Allegations are that Mitzy and Neika Thompson boarded a taxi driven by 50-year-old Donovan Boothe of Prospect, St Thomas, on July 13, 2013, and asked him to take them to Blue Mahoe, also in Prospect.
The women were joined by a teenager. It is alleged that the minor shot Boothe in the forehead upon arrival at their destination, killing him on the spot. The taxi operator was then robbed of an undetermined sum of money.

Neika Thompson, who was granted bail in the sum of $1.5 million, had her bail extended. Mitzy Thompson was granted bail in the sum of $2 million when she appeared in the Yallahs Resident Magistrate's Court in January. A stop order was placed on her, and she has been ordered to surrender her travel documents and to reside in Springfield, St Thomas, and observe a 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. curfew. She is also expected to report to the Morant Bay police daily.
Investigators are still searching for the minor reported to be involved in the murder. Mitzy Thompson is alleged to have been out on bail on another matter at the time of the incident. The case will be mentioned again on April 7.
