Bail Denied for Second Suspect in Passport Officer Murder Plot

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – A Supreme Court judge denied bail to a man accused of plotting a murder along with a policeman.

Prosecutors say Corporal Darren Davis, 47, plotted the murder of 43-year-old Jayson Whitfield along with his 27-year-old cousin Stephon Davis on December 2, 2022.

A day later, Whitfield, a senior clerk at the Passport Office, was found shot dead inside his government-issued car in Garden Hills.

The cousins were formally charged with the murder plot on December 12 and remanded into custody.

Justice Renae McKay freed the policeman on $30,000 bail on December 20.

However, his denied Davis’s bail application, saying that he was a threat to public safety.
Davis was already on bail for two murders when he was accused of conspiring to kill Whitfield.

He’s awaiting trial for the September 15, 2019 murder of Anthony Wright at his home on First Street, Coconut Grove and the July 10, 2021 murder of Michael Thompson Jr, who was gunned down at a car wash on East Street.
