Arguments next week in murder conviction appeal
Quaison Jones
The Court of Appeal is scheduled to hear arguments next Tuesday, November 13, in the case of the State vs Quaison Jones who was convicted in 2014 for the murder of Marlon Greene, a fish cleaner attached to the Meadow Bank Wharf.
Jones, 53, called ‘Blondie’ was convicted by a 12-member mixed jury for the January 17, 2011 killing of Greene.
He was sentenced to serve 57 years’ imprisonment by High Court Judge Navindra Singh. His lawyer subsequently filed an appeal.
According to reports, on the day in question some other fish cleaners were attracted by loud hollering and when they ran to the location they observed Jones cuffing away at Greene. A closer look revealed that Jones was armed with a knife, and there were bloodstains on the blade.
Greene’s windpipe and jugular vein were severed. The cause of death was given as shock and haemorrhage.
