BARBARA GAYLE, Staff Reporter
Bail application is to be made on December 9 for 45-year-old deejay Ninja Man, whose real name is Desmond Ballentine. He has been in custody since March 2009 on a murder charge. He is charged jointly with his son Jamel, Dennis Clayton and Seymour Samuels. Samuels is on bail while the others are in custody. The men appeared in the Home Circuit Court on Monday but their trial was put off because legal representation was not settled for Jamel Ballentine.
They are charged with the murder of Richard Johnson.
It is being alleged that on March 16, 2009, Johnson was sweeping his yard in the company of a friend on Mall Road, St Andrew, when a motor car with three men aboard drove up. An argument developed between Johnson's friend and the men who left but later returned with guns blazing. Johnson was fatally shot in the incident.
Ninja Man turned himself in to the police shortly after the incident, upon hearing that he was being sought as a person of interest in the case. |
