On Wednesday, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP)Paula Llewellyn handed down her judgment on the case involving Rastafarian Nzinga King, and many are not pleased.
King, who was 19 at the time, alleged that a policewoman had cut her dreadlocks while in custody.
The DPP said after reviewing the matter, there were several inconsistencies in the claims made by King, and that her claims were not supported by other persons interviewed.
According to several local media reports, it is said that Nzinga allegedly confided in a schoolmate that she cut her hair because of a fungus infection. It is also being reported that at least two persons who were detained with Ms King, indicated that they saw her tearing out her own locks.
Persons on social media gave mixed reactions to the DPP’s ruling. “The little girl lied. So don’t blame the DPP. She only work with the evidence that was given to her by indecom.” A social media user said. While another one said. “So what did she use to cut her hair while she was in custody? Just curious.” Someone believed that she should be charged “They must charge the girl for public mischief.”
King, was arrested for disorderly conduct stemming from a June 2021 incident at a taxi park in May Pen.
The allegations sparked outrage from the Rastafarian community as well as the entertainment fraternity.
