 Ce vendredi 12 août, aux alentours de 10h15, le vol SS924 de la compagnie Corsair a été dérouté suite à l’indiscipline d’une passagère.

 Après environ une demi-heure du décollage, le vol SS924 au départ de Paris Orly et à destination de l’aéroport Aimé Césaire (Fort-de-France) de la compagnie Corsair a été dérouté vers Orly. Pour cause, une passagère s’est mise à fumer dans les toilettes vers l’arrière de l’appareil en plein vol. L’équipage a été alerté par le son des alarmes à plusieurs reprises et a tenté de raisonner la passagère, qui a répondu agressivement. Cette dernière s’en est donc pris au personnel de l’équipage du vol. À l’atterrissage à Paris, les forces de l’ordre l’ont interpellé directement dans l’avion.

Le vol n’a pu repartir qu’environ 2h après cet incident, il est de nouveau en route vers Fort-de-France.

Une enquête est ouverte, selon la compagnie aérienne.

‘Anger mi have inna mi right now’ — Donna-Lee Donaldson’s uncle

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

After Constable Noel Maitland, the accused in the murder of social media influencer Donna-Lee Donaldson, made his first court appearance in the matter on Friday, relatives of the young woman reacted to the news that his attorney will be making a bail application when he reappears in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on August 22.

The frustration was evident as Donaldson’s uncle, Neil Lugg, shared his thoughts.

“Anger mi have inna mi right now,” Lugg said, as he shared that he learnt about Maitland’s court appearance through the media.

Maitland, who was Donaldson’s boyfriend, was arrested and charged with murder in connection with her disappearance following a high-level investigation. He has, however, maintained his innocence.

Donaldson was reported missing on July 13. The police believe she was killed on July 12.

Major clean-up exercise along Dyke Road Loop Jamaica

A major clean-up exercise has begun along the Dyke Road in St. Catherine as part of the national ‘Clean Jamaica’ campaign being implemented by the Government of Jamaica.

The exercise, which commenced on Thursday (August 11), is expected to last for one week and will see the removal of overgrown vegetation in the area. The work will focus on both sides of the road from the Ackee Village up to the train line.

“This area is what is deemed the critical area of the Dyke Road that needs immediate response and that is what we are offering right now,” said Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, Desmond McKenzie, who observed the exercise.

He informed that the clean-up is in response to a request from the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) regarding the condition of the area, which, in recent times, has been used as a hideout for criminals and where illegal weapons have been discovered.

“The work is being coordinated by the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA), working closely with the Member of Parliament and Counsellor for the area and getting the support from the security forces,” said Minister McKenzie.

Meanwhile, he noted that the national clean-up campaign, which began prior to the Independence celebrations, will continue.

“This programme will go on. We will take the programme right across other parts of the country, but we want to focus today on the urgency and the need to have this area clean,” he added.

Minister without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, with responsibility for information, Robert Morgan, empahasised the national significance of the clean-up exercise along the Dyke Road.

“Thousands of cars all across the island and Jamaicans commute through this area. Even though it is important for St Catherine, it’s a major artery into Kingston.

“That’s one of the primary focuses of the national clean-up campaign – looking at areas that impact Jamaicans in general and also communities in particular,” said Minister Morgan.

Member of Parliament for St. Catherine East Central and State Minister for Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Hon. Alando Terrelonge, thanked the various stakeholders involved, noting that the clean-up “is a big win for the people of Gregory Park and East Central St. Catherine”.

WATCH: Noel Maitland to return to court August 22 Loop Jamaica

Constable Noel Maitland, who is charged with the murder of missing social media influencer Donna-Lee Donaldson, was Friday morning remanded to custody until August 22 when he is to reappear in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court.

Maitland’s attorney Christopher Townsend is to make an application for bail when the matter returns. The prosecution is not yet ready for trial.

In court, Maitland was properly dressed but appeared stressed, as is normal with someone being in custody.

Maitland, who is also a producer who goes by the name Noel Onetime, was charged on August 2 during the peak of a high-level investigation, which suggested that Donaldson, who was reported missing at the time, was dead.

The police have yet to recover a body but they say there is forensic proof that she is dead. Deputy Commissioner of Police Fitz Bailey said, based on their investigation, they believe that Donaldson was killed on July 12.

DCP Bailey said, too, that the police have carried out several operations – including a visit to the Riverton City Dump in St Andrew – aimed at recovering Donaldson’s body.

The senior law enforcement officer said that while investigators suspect that Maitland may have acted alone in causing the alleged death of Donaldson, they believe that he received help to dispose of the body.

Donaldson was reported missing on July 13 after she had gone to Maitland’s home to spend her birthday. Family and fans of Donaldson, who was the host of the reality show 876Roommates, staged several protests days after her disappearance, claiming a lack of urgency on the part of the police.

The police, with the help of INDECOM and the Institute of Forensic Science and Legal Health and oversight from the police command, was able to make several breakthroughs, and, by July 26, the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution was brought in for a case review.

By July 27, Maitland was in custody, taken before the parish court and remanded. And on August 2, a charge of murder was laid against him.

Maitland has maintained his innocence.

Dolla makes bid to acquire Access Loop Jamaica

NEWYou can now listen to Loop News articles!

Microfinance company Dolla Financial Services Limited has launched a takeover bid for rival firm Access Financial Services Limited.

In a letter, dated August 11, 2022, Dolla’s CEO Kadeen Mairs wrote to Access’ board of directors stating that Dolla is “interested in exploring a take-over to acquire full control of Access”.

Access, led by Marcus James, was the first company to list on the Junior Market of the Jamaica Stock Exchange in 2009. Whereas, Dolla was listed on JSE two months ago on June 15.

In its letter to Access Financial, Dolla requested that both parties proceed to “confidential exploratory discussions” and proposed that they enter a non-disclosure agreement to cover the likely discussions.

Mairs has given Access Financial until August 16 to respond to its expression of interest.

Dolla Financial, last month, received board approval to raise $1 billion in bonds, having unlent all of the $25 million it raised via an initial public offer in May. The bond issue will likely help Dolla Financial achieve its goal to open three more local branches by year-end and set up shop in a third Caribbean country.

The microlender operates nine branches across seven parishes and recently opened a branch in Portmore, St Catherine, where it plans to unlend $100 million in six months.

Marcus James, CEO of Access Financial Service.

Meanwhile, Access recently received approval from the Bank of Jamaica (BOJ) to operate as a microfinance institution (MFI).

Access said the development means the company is approved to provide microcredit services, such as granting loans or business advisory services to individuals and MSMEs.

The company said it would continue to ensure that it meets all regulatory obligations to provide greater financial inclusion, improved customer service, and greater disclosure to customers.

Access had a $2 billion bond offer last month to refinance debt and give itself more working capital.
