A church secretary who allegedly fraudulently converted $2.5 million entrusted to her by her bishop for safekeeping appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court last Thursday, where she handed over what she said was the remaining $372,000 owed.

Alecia Livermore, who served as secretary for the church's online ministry, was arrested and charged earlier this year with fraudulent conversion.

Livermore had reportedly repaid $500,000 on one occasion and $1.7 million on another before the case reached court.
