They later stayed on the villa beginning January 1, 2023.

In keeping with DCP Bailey, on the identical day, the 2 British males went to a live performance in Priory, St Ann, the place they met a person recognized as Oshane Richards.

Richards, also called ‘Shabba’, is alleged to be a building employee from Kingston 13.  In keeping with the DCP, Richards was deported from the UK in 2013 following a conviction for crack cocaine.

Following the live performance, the three males returned to the villa.
