The male leader of an alleged religious cult and the aunt of a teen girl are among three persons charged in relation to the child’s abduction from her home in Clarendon earlier this month.

The aunt is alleged to be the mastermind of the kidnapping.

Charged are 60 year old Byron Hunter, a welder and religious leader, 35 year old Donna-may Taylor and 38 year-old Rushea Hunter, all of Ewarton, St. Catherine.

It’s reported that 13 year old Zaynah Shaw, a student of Glenmore high school, went missing on April 7.

Following investigations, police conducted an operation in neighbouring St. Catherine, at the home of the girl’s aunt, where she was found. 

A release from the Constabulary Communications Network today said investigations reveal that Zaynah was taken from her home without the knowledge or consent of her mother.

A missing person report was filed and the matter was brought to the attention of detectives assigned to the National Strategic Anti-gang Division of the Counter Terrorism and Organised Crime Investigations Branch.

The cops immediately launched an investigation.

They were led to a home in Ewarton, St. Catherine, on Tuesday, April 15, where the missing teen was found.

Two other children were also seen at the premises.

It was later discovered that those children were not registered for school.

Zaynah was reportedly taken by the religious leader for a special upcoming event, akin to the ‘three days of darkness’.

Police said the 3 accused, one of whom is Zaynah’s aunt and the mastermind behind the abduction, were taken into custody.

The children were removed from the home.

Byron Hunter and Donna-may Taylor are both charged with abduction of a child under sixteen years of age, being a member of a criminal organisation, two counts of duty to secure education, and three counts of duty to report need for care and protection.

While, Rushea Hunter is charged with conspiracy to abduct a child under sixteen years of age, being a member of a criminal organisation, two counts of duty to secure education, and three counts of duty to report need for care and protection.

All three are set to appear in the Home Circuit Court on Monday, April 28.

The police are urging parents and guardians to exercise heightened vigilance regarding the safety and welfare of their children.

They should also be mindful of organisations, including those operating under the guise of religious groups, that may support beliefs or practices that could endanger children.

Anyone with information that can assist in this investigation or share information on suspicious activities is being urged to contact the police.
