Jamaican police have charged 46-year-old Lawrence Sergeant with the murder of his 13-year-old daughter, Shantina Sergeant, whose body was found in a burnt-out refrigerator days after her disappearance. Sergeant, who had been in custody for several weeks, was formally charged on Wednesday, though his court date is yet to be set.
Shantina, a student at Christiana High School, was reported missing on October 6, 2025. Four days later, police discovered her remains behind the family home in Old Harbour, St. Catherine. A post-mortem confirmed she died from blunt force trauma, leading to Sergeant’s arrest and subsequent murder charge.
