Teen accused of stepfather's murder remanded

Seventeen-year-old Rohan Cuff who is charged in connection with the murder of his stepfather was today remanded when he appeared in the Santa Cruz Resident Magistrate's Court.

Cuff was charged with the murder of his stepfather Cyril Kessley in Leeds District St. Elizabeth, last Friday.

Attorney-at-Law Yushaine Morgan who is representing Cuff asked the court to have him undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Resident Magistrate Sonya Wint Blair agreed with Morgan and ordered that he sees a psychiatrist.

However, this was not without protest from the accused who said "Mam mi nuh mad enuh".

The matter is to return to court on July 20.
