Tonight, the woman who killed Superintendent Henry Jemmoth - 32 year old Canadian Jasmin Hartin is back in police custody. She is expected to be brought into Belize City from Caye Caulker where police were looking for her from last night. She had to go into the station today to make her daily sign in - since she is on bail for Jemmoth's manslaughter - and that is when she was detained.
When she gets to Belize City, police at CIB will question her about the alleged contract killing taken out on the lives of a magistrate and the commissioner of police.
And while we broke this story two days ago without disclosing any names - tonight we can report her name because she told her story to Cherisse Halsall - and it is a very involved one.
Hartin says she is being set up in this alleged conspiracy to commit murder.
Hartin says that all this comes after she filed a report against a man she calls her former maintenance worker whom she claims was attempting to blackmail and extort her.
That said maintenance worker, Lionel Neal filed a counter-report claiming to have been involved with Hartin for the better part of 7 months. Tonight, this tale of he said she said that has put Jasmine Hartin in a now familiar place: back behind bars in a police holding cell.
Last night via telephone she gave us her version of the events that have her back behind bars tonight:
Jasmine Hartin - Wanted for Questioning
"Cherisse I'm going to be extremely real with you, part of this report that I gave to the police yesterday morning at the Caye Caulker police station was that I am being blackmailed by a crazy man, I'd like to file a report, the uttered death threats, he sexually assaulted me and he said he was exactly going to go to Chester Williams, Noble, Cowo and he said he was going to tell them that I murder Henry Jemmot and that I also plotted to kill other people. He mentioned a couple other names at the time, like 3 or 4 people that I allegedly put a hit on, I'm like this is absurd, so I made sure, I went to the police station, I filled the report, he was detained later that day, it's the biggest made up story ever, there is no grounds, no proof, nothing and I am not going into that police station without my lawyer present because this is an invented designed attack on me to paint me bad. I had the police at my house twice today, calling me from my mom's phone telling me to come into the station and I said listen, I've been told not to come down there and answer any questions without my lawyer present, it's already after 6 o'clock at night, I can get hold of Dickie tomorrow, we can come to the station to answer any questions you have because this is game they always play, they try to bring you to the station at night so that I have to spend the night in a cell. We don't know what tomorrow holds because one crazy man is spreading lies about me and I've shown the police and made my own police report before he had this meeting to spread these lies, I told the officers he was going to, it was printed and signed in filed and I filed the report to arrest him and seek court action against this man."
