Man wanted for 2020 Christmas murder captured, charged

ST CATHERINE, Jamaica— An accused murderer who was reportedly on the run for nearly two years has been captured.

Dennis Mundell, 38, otherwise called ‘Gin-Sing’ was arrested on a warrant during a police operation in St Catherine on Friday, December 2. He had been wanted in connection with the 2020 Christmas Day murder of Romaine Atkinson.

Reports are that about 2:20 pm, on Christmas Day in 2020, 21-year-old Atkinson was assisting a neighbour with dinner at Tewari Crescent, Kingston 13 when Mundell and another man approached and opened gunfire, hitting Atkinson multiple times to the head and upper body.

Mundell reportedly escaped and was on the run until he was collared by detectives assigned to the Counter Terrorism and Organized Crime Investigations Branch.

He was subsequently interviewed and later charged with murder and illegal possession of firearm and ammunition. His court date is being arranged.
