Janice Allen case headed for UK
published: Wednesday | October 17, 2007

The Janice Allen case is now heading to the United Kingdom Privy Council for a determination as to whether the Jamaican court was correct when it refused leave to go to the Judicial Review Court for an order to quash a jury's verdict.

The Court of Appeal yesterday granted final leave for Millicent Forbes, the mother of 13-year-old Janice Allen, to appeal the case.

Allen was shot dead at her gate at Trench Town, West Kingston on April 18, 2000. The police reported that she was shot during a shoot-out with gunmen.

Constable Rohan Allen (no relation) was charged with murder but was freed in March 2004 after a jury was directed to return a formal verdict of not guilty.

The acquittal was based on false information that a policeman who was a vital witness in the case was off the island and was not returning.
