The father of the child who was found dead at her Frontier Heights home in Port Maria, here, last month, was charged a short while ago for her murder and is to appear in the Port Maria Resident Magistrate’s Court tomorrow.
A post-mortem revealed that Crystal Coleman died from brain haemorrhage as a result of beatings she received.
The post-mortem also revealed injuries all over the child’s body.
Dwight Coleman, the child’s father, turned himself in to the police days after his daughter’s body was discovered by a relative. Since Crystal’s death, there have been conflicting reports of her age. It was recently confirmed that she was three years old.
In the meantime, there are inconclusive results for the cause of death of 14-year-old Annotto Bay High School student Tishauna Henry, who was found last Monday, a day after she was reported missing. Her body was found in a river in Enfield, Annotto Bay. The post-mortem result has however ruled out drowning and rape.

I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that this MOFO will get a painful, frightening, and agonizing beating from de prisoners dem. That way he gets what he deserves from the Jamaican justice system.

Why are the children being punished because their parents life are not great, it’s not their fault that you had them and that your life is not as prefect as you want it to be, that your tried of the suffering… I can’t fathom taking out my frustration on my child enough to kill her for it and beat her repeatedly for it… I hope he gets death or jailed for a very long time to take his own child life is so damn wicked and how you can do it and not think twice about it and you turn yourself in he lucky the people didn’t deal with his something wicked, smfh… Why are these children coming up missing so much they need to find the person who is responsbile for the other killing and get him off the streets, the children are not safe and I urge parents to walk their children to school and don’t take their eyes off of them and make sure you know their whereabouts because apparently there’s dangerous times in Jamaica and the children are suffering for it…
