Ken Grant, the leader of the Trelawny Lay Magistrates Association, is advocating for a significant increase in the number of Justices of the Peace (JPs) in the northern parish. He is also urging JPs to exhibit a more sociable and accommodating attitude when collaborating with law enforcement agencies.
Having recently accompanied two out of three individuals under investigation in connection to the tragic case involving the rape and fatal beating of 15-year-old Jamila Cole, Ken Grant, the head of the Trelawny Lay Magistrates Association, recounts his involvement. He later conversed with another Justice of the Peace who was acquainted with the third individual. Following their discussion, arrangements were made to bring the third individual to the Ulster Spring Police. During this experience, Grant emphasized to JPs that their responsibilities extend well beyond the conventional role of simply signing or providing references. He highlighted that their role encompasses actions that can aid law enforcement, particularly in situations where suspects lack legal representation, causing delays in police interrogations.
