THE SUSPECT implicated in the killing of 19-year-old Brian Keith Isaacs appeared before an identification parade on Tuesday at the Constant Spring Police Station in St. Andrew.
However, the suspect was ordered released by the court as he had been detained for too long without being charged.
Isaacs was gunned down on November 16 by two men on a motorcycle on Carmel Road in upper St. Andrew, while transporting relatives in the family's grey Mitsubishi Lancer motor car. The pillion rider, reportedly fired several shots, hitting Isaacs. He was pronounced dead at the University Hospital of the West Indies.
Reports are that young Isaacs might have been mistakenly murdered for his father, who he normally takes to work each morning. It is understood that the killing may have been linked to the move by a resident to take action against a housing
developer over the close proximity in which some of the houses on a St. Andrew site were being constructed. The Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC) placed a stop order on the construction.
STOP ORDER
Norman Shand, city engineer at the KSAC, told The Gleaner that the stop order was still in effect on the housing development, located at 12 Seaview Avenue, Kingston 10, at the corner of Seymour Avenue.
"The stop order was issued, which they obeyed, as work has ceased on the site," said Mr. Shand. Earlier this month, the KSAC issued a cease work notice to the developers, Milliard Development Company Limited, but the defiant developers refused to comply and the local government authority then followed up with the stop notice a day later.
Mr. Shand added that he was informed that Millard was in the process of doing a new drawing that would be submitted to the council for new building approval.
The city engineer could not immediately say if the corporation would grant another approval. "It will have to go through the normal process and through the (necessary) agencies because they will have to meet the required density of that particular development."
