An inmate charged for the alleged fatal stabbing of a fellow prisoner at the St Catherine Adult Correctional Centre last year has been told that he has a case to answer.

Appolos Atkinson, an inmate at the St Catherine Adult Correctional Centre, appeared in the St Catherine Parish Court on Thursday, where Senior Parish Court Judge Desiree Alleyne ruled that a prima facie case had been established against him on the charge of murder.

Atkinson was further remanded and the case was transferred to the St Catherine Circuit Court, which has been set for June 19.
