In a matter of days, John Daviswill know if he is the biological father of an 11-year-old boy. As the story he was featured in this month, dubbed, 'Pretty Hair Child Causes Doubt', has been chosen as July's Paternity Puzzle Feature winner.

Davis, a security officer, who dated Stacey Greyback in 2002, told THE STAR in an interview over two weeks ago that the paternity of his son was brought into question after he got word that his now ex-lover had an affair.

In addition, Davis said that the little boy has the identification markers of the rumoured father, such as his Indian type hair.

He said: I didn't have any doubts at first, until one day, somebody told me that a man from di area own di little boy. When I really look into the matter, now I see why I don't have any bond at all with my son. My son look like di man and walk like di man and have his pretty hair.

Davis and Grey had a short-lived relationship in 2002, the said year that she (Grey) said she became pregnant.

According to Davis, his legitimate relationship was with another woman, and the romance between him and Grey was a fling.

He said: Mi ask her if she did involve with this next man and she deny it, but I don't believe her.

However, Grey said that her relationship with Davis was not a fling.

She said: He said that he had a woman, but I wasn't seeing anyone else at that time. So, I don't know where all of this come from dat him have doubts. Mi nuh know what he is talking about.

Grey, the mother of 11 children, didn't have much to say about the matter when we spoke to her earlier this month, and even when we announced to her that she is the winner of the DNA test, she still didn't say much.

Earlier this month, she told THE STAR that she felt that Davis' girlfriend was pressuring him to do the DNA test.

She said: Everybody say dat di child resemble him. I don't know what he is talking about. I believe dat it is his girlfriend who is pressuring him to do a DNA test, and I don't know why. My son was living there and my son left because they were ill-treating him.

Meanwhile, Davis had denied that claim and when contacted this week, the delighted security officer said that he was relieved to know that he has won.

He said: I really would want my son to live with me, and take him out of his present living conditions. I just want to get this part of tings resolved. I have an open mind, if the result negative, then I would just have to accept it.
