MONTEGO BAY, St James — After six months on the run, Oral Thompson appeared in the St James Parish Court on Wednesday, charged with the murder of his common-law spouse, 53-year-old Junithe Hickey, of Goodwill, Anchovy, St James.

He was remanded in custody until November 18 when the matter will be back before the court.

Hickey died following an incident in March this year at premises in Mount Salem, where residents reportedly heard a commotion coming from the yard.
