BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – PRINCE YAWEH HENRY, the man who had reportedly led police to the area in Bayford’s Mountain where he had allegedly buried his 13-day-old son, was charged with the infant’s murder for the second time.
On the afternoon of Friday, November 28, 2014, Deputy Commissioner of Police Stafford Liburd had told SKNVibes that Henry of Stapleton Village was charged with his son’s murder and a subsequent police communiqué stated that on Sunday, November 23, 2014 he was formally arrested and charged for the offence of Murder.
It is not known if the police had withdrawn that charge, but another communiqué issued today (Apr. 15) states that Henry was again charged with the infant’s murder.
He was "formally arrested and charged for the offence of Murder of Ihailjah Rastafari Kelly, which was committed on 23rd November 2014," it states.
The Sunday (Nov. 23) communiqué had informed that Henry and his son went missing at midnight on the previous day and a massive search was launched on the following day to locate them.
At that time, this media house was reliably informed that it was the infant’s mother who had made the missing report to the police.
The search, the communiqué stated, had comprised members of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force, Ross University Island Constables K-9 Division and the St. Kitts-Nevis Defence Force.
“Police searched Bayford's Mountain and the surrounding areas before locating Prince Yahweh Henry who was not in possession of the missing infant,” police said.
The communiqué also stated that Henry admitted to leaving the child in the hills and took police to the location.
However, on arrival there, the remains of an infant believed to be that of the missing child were found and the police had taken Henry into custody to assist with their investigation.
This publication did understand that the child’s mother had borne twins, he and his sister, and they were delivered by Henry who claimed that he saw a demon in the child, which may have led to his demise.
SKNVibes had also understood that the flesh from certain parts of the infant’s body was missing, seemingly eaten or cut to the bone.
