Twelve charges have been laid against 2 men in relation to the murder of 43-year-old St. Catherine businessman Humphrey Brown.

Charged are twenty-seven-year-old Leonardo Swaby, otherwise called ‘Angel’ of Tawes Meadows, Spanish Town, and 27-year-old Nathan Williams of St. Johns Road, Spanish Town, both in St. Catherine.

Reports indicate that at approximately 11:02 P.M. on Friday, July 11, after receiving a telephone call, Brown was last seen leaving his home on Piccadilly Drive, Willowdene, for Church Pen, Old Harbour, both in St. Catherine.

When he failed to return or make contact for several days, a missing person report was filed, which prompted a police investigation.

During the investigation, lawmen discovered that Brown’s bank card had been used at an ATM in the parish.

CCTV footage showed two men, who were later identified as Swaby and Williams, conducting transactions with Brown’s card.

The men were subsequently apprehended and taken into custody.

During an interview, police said they confessed to their involvement in the crime and led the police to where Brown’s body was buried.

The body was found in a shallow grave on Thetford Farm Road, Old Harbour, last Thursday, July 24.

Swaby and Williams were charged with, Murder, Engaging in a transaction that involves Criminal Property, Conspiracy to Murder, Aiding and Abetting Murder, Robbery with Aggravation, Conspiracy to Robbery with Aggravation, Aiding and Abetting Robbery with Aggravation, Simple Larceny (10 counts), Conspiracy to Simple Larceny, Unlawful Burial of Corpse, Unauthorized Access to Computer Data & Conspiracy to Unauthorized Access to Computer Data.

Their court date is being finalized.
