Munga Honorable Returns To Court Tomorrow

Dancehall star Munga Honorable will return to the Supreme Court for a case management conference tomorrow in relation to an ongoing murder case.

“If we can complete case management tomorrow, then we can set the trial date,” attorney-at-law Christopher Townsend told DancehallMag.

The Case Management Conference (also called the “Early Case Evaluation”) is an initial hearing where the judge, the attorneys, and the parties meet to discuss the issues involved in the case. The whole purpose is to get your case moving forward.

Munga Honorable, whose given name is Damian Rhoden, is charged in connection with the February 2017 murder of Cleveland Smith, who was shot dead along Molynes Road, Kingston 20, about 1 a.m that fateful day.

According to police report, it is alleged that Smith was accosted by a group of men, one of whom was reportedly armed with a gun, at a dance in the Ackee Walk community of St Andrew. An altercation ensued between them during which Smith was shot. He was then rushed to the Kingston Public Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The murder case has been in “case management” for several months.

Munga, whose career spans nearly two decades, got his break in 2005 when he teamed up with producer Don Corleon. Among his tracks are In My Arms, Flippin Rhymes, Bad From Me Born and his recent hit single, Nah Mad Ova.
