Suspect charged in connection with John Terry's murder

According to the Jamaica Observer

A 23-year-old man from Bull Bay in St Andrew has been charged in connection with the murder of John Terry, Honorary Consul to Jamaica from the United Kingdom.

Charged with conspiracy to murder is Richard Ewan, who is also of a Reading address in St James. Ewan worked as a security guard in Montego Bay at the time of Terry’s death. Police charged Ewan after interviewing him yesterday.


The 64-year-old honorary consul was found strangled at his Mount Carey home in St James on Wednesday, September 9, 2009.

A post-mortem on the body, showed that he died from asphyxia due to ligature strangulation associated with other injuries to the neck and head.

Terry was apparently killed by someone known to him as officers said their examination of the home found no forced entry or signs of a break-in.

Terry's body, which was wrapped in a sheet, was discovered by his gardener.

He was employed as a maintenance manager at the Half Moon Hotel up to the time of his death. He worked previously as a manager at the Round Hill Hotel.
