The St Catherine North police have charged 41-year-old Appolos Atkinson with murder following an incident at a correctional centre in the parish on Friday, January 17.

Atkinson is charged with the murder of 32-year-old Jermaine Rogers, an inmate at the same facility.

Reports from the Spanish Town Police are that at about 2:55 pm, the correctional officers at the facility heard a commotion and later discovered Rogers with a stab wound.

The correctional officers then assisted Rogers to the hospital.

However, he was pronounced dead. 

Detectives charged Atkinson after conducting a question-and-answer session with him in the presence of his attorney. 

A court date for him is being finalised.
