Senior Puisne Judge Marva McIntosh has ordered a psychiatric report on the 16-year-old St Mary schoolboy who is charged with the murder of 11-year-old Aamir Dwight Scott of Sandside, St Mary.

The report was ordered because he is not cooperating with lawyers who were assigned to represent him.

Last week Monday, defence lawyer Peter Champagnie withdrew from the case when the case came for trial in the Home Circuit Court.

Yesterday, defence lawyer Michael Deans, who was assigned to represent him, also withdrew from the case.

The judge has remanded him and he is to return to court on July 31.

The case was transferred to Kingston because the defence lawyers and the prosecutors in the case felt that the accused would not get a fair trial in St Mary.

Allegations are that Scott, who was a student at Trinity Primary school, St Mary, went missing after he went to visit friends on September 14 last year.

A search was launched for Scott and on September 16 last year, the dismembered body was found in a bag in bushes in Sandside.

Five persons were detained in connection with the murder but only the teenager was charged after he allegedly gave a confession statement to the police.
