Prominent businessman’s daughter remanded to prison
By Zaya Williams
Atleast for the next few days His Majesty’s Prison will be the home of Jennifer George-John,the daughter of renowned businessman, the late Cecil George-John.
George-John was remanded to the prison on Monday after being convicted of malicious damage by Justice Ann-Marie Smith in the High Court.
The decision came after a short trial.
The legal ordeal stems from an incident that unfolded on December 18, 2020, when Jennifer George-John and her ex-girlfriend got into heated argument.
The disagreement quickly escalated, resulting in George-John’s alarming actions.
She purportedly threw a brick into her ex-girlfriend’s vehicle, only to then intentionally collide her own vehicle with the woman’s car.
The accused is now set to reside within the confines of the penitentiary until November 10, 2023, when her sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place.
