The 27-year-old man charged with the murder of his female companion and her mother in Rosemount district, Golden Spring, St Andrew, last month was again remanded in court on Wednesday.

The dead women are 66-year-old Eucelyn Gordon and Topozion Gordon, 28.

The accused, O'Brian Brissett, who is still without legal counsel, is to return to the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court on September 20.

Allegations are that the accused and his girlfriend were at home when she received a call from a male friend. He became upset and she left the home.

Upon returning, an argument developed and the accused allegedly destroyed her cellular phone.

Further allegations are that he became violent and used a pickaxe and hoe to chop his girlfriend to death. When her mother tried to intervene, he then turned his wrath on her.

After the incident, he reportedly ran to a nearby house, locked himself inside and threatened suicide.

This led some alarmed residents to quickly surround the house, as they were adamant that he would receive their version of justice.
