McLEAN MURDER TRIAL: Jury retires to consider verdict
Published:Tuesday | March 6, 2018 | 12:00 AM
A jury is now deliberating the fate of accused killer Michael McLean.
The St Thomas businessman is charged with killing his former girlfriend Terry-Ann Mohammed, her son Jessie O'Gilvie as well as her niece Patrice Martin-McCool and her children, Lloyd McCool, Jihad McCool and Sean Chin in St Thomas in February 2006.
Mohammed’s badly burnt body was found in bushes in the community of Needham Pen with her throat slashed.
Four of the other victims were found in bushes near Prospect Beach with their throats slashed.
The decomposing body of the other victim, six-year-old Jihad McCool, was found in a shallow grave in St Mary one week later.
McLean has denied any involvement in their deaths.
However, prosecutors have countered saying the six were led to their deaths like lambs to the slaughter and said McLean is the person responsible.
