Ex-Boyfriend Of Dancehall Artist D British Charged For Her Murder

A man has been charged with the killing of an upcoming dancehall artist D British, his ex-girlfriend, during a dispute last month.

The accused man, Nicholas Paisley of Budhole district near McNie on the border of St Ann and Clarendon, recently appeared in the St Ann Parish Court, where he was remanded in custody.

He is facing charges of murder in relation to the death of 19-year-old, whose real name is Patricia Green, popularly known as ‘Samantha’, a customer service representative of Mile End, St Ann.

Green was also known by her by her stage name, D British. She had recorded singles such as Self Reliant, Wine It, Obsessive, and Suh Mi Like It. Several of her fans and close associates reacted to her tragic death by posting sad emojis and RIP in the comments sections of her audio videos on YouTube.

At the time of his arrest for the killing, Paisley was on bail for the offence of larceny as a servant.

It was reported that on March 18 at about 6:30 pm, residents heard a female crying for help in a section of Budhole district, and alerted law enforcers.

On their arrival, the body of a female, later identified as Green, was found with multiple stab wounds and her throat slashed on a roadway in the community.

She was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Based on accounts from some residents, it was suggested that Green went to pick up her young child that she shared with Paisley who lived in the area. A dispute reportedly developed between them, during which Green was stabbed.

Following a probe, Paisley was arrested and subsequently charged.
