Answering to manslaughter charges in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court is 54-year-old Marion Davis of a Kingston 11, address.
According to the police report, on August 29 around 12:50 p.m., the accused and her now deceased son had a dispute over a cellular phone. It is alleged deceased teen's brother, who is also the son of the accused intervened. During the dispute, the deceased was beaten and was crying for severe pain.
He was taken to the Kingston Public Hospital, (KPH) where he succumbed to his injuries the following day.
