Cop reassigned after DJ, ex-beauty queen visit Maitland

At least one cop has been reassigned over the unauthorised visit of murder accused Constable Noel Maitland by a popular dancehall entertainer and a former beauty queen.

The visit, which was reportedly not documented in the station diary, occurred at the lock-up of Grants Pen Police Station in northern St Andrew.

Maitland was charged on Tuesday with the murder of his girlfriend, social media influencer Donna-Lee Donaldson.

The 24-year-old was last seen in the company of Maitland on July 11.

She was reported missing on July 13.

The police said forensic evidence suggests that Donaldson has been murdered.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Clifford Blake confirmed on Tuesday that the High Command is aware of the visit that reportedly occurred last week.

“It is under investigation and I can say, yes, at least one member was removed from the said station pending the outcome of the investigation,” said Blake during the Jamaica Constabulary Force’s monthly press briefing.

Maitland’s lawyer, Christopher Townsend, denied knowledge of the visit when contacted by The Gleaner.
