The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has ruled that a Coroners Inquest be held into the controversial shooting death of a man at a hotel in the central parish of Manchester in 2011.
The ruling was handed down two days ago.
The man, said to be a supporter of the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) was shot at a cocktail reception.
The event was attended by several JLP officials and activists, following a mass meeting in Central Manchester.
The Mandeville Police reported that a group of persons was at the hotel, when an argument developed and the man was shot.
Investigators collected statements from several JLP members who were present at the reception.
They are expected to give testimony at the Inquest.
Meanwhile, the real estate developer at the centre of the hotel shooting, is now in police custody.
He was picked up earlier this week by investigators from the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Task Force(MOCA).
The cops are investigating him for a recent shooting in Brown’s Town, St Ann.
He’s scheduled to face an identification parade on the weekend.
