The case against the five women who were involved in the cemetery brawl last week, has been dismissed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The prosecution appeared before the court on Thursday along with defense attorneys Wendel Alexander and Joanne Massiah, to tell the court that the parties involved no longer wished to proceed with the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the circumstances, the prosecution withdrew the case and the trial date in February 2025 was vacated. The court has learnt that the five women involved in the brawl are all related.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

However, the case against Ty Thomas who discharged a firearm in the cemetery, will proceed on December 4 as was decided by the court.<\/p>
