Nickera Smith murder: Wescott was last to speak to victim before she left home- court
Allegations, according to Acting Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Tiffany R. Scatliffe-Esprit, state that Wescott and Smith spoke often and that all stopped with the final phone call on January 27, 2016.
She said the accused also did not maintain his story he told police when he was interviewed around that time in relation to the offence.
When the charge of murder was put to him by Magistrate Ayanna O. Baptiste-DaBreo on Thursday, February 20 2020, Wescott was not required to enter a plea.
Remanded to prison
The offer of bail was also not given to him as the Magistrate’s Court did not have jurisdiction to do so. If bail were to be offered, it would be done at the High Court.
As such, Magistrate Baptiste-DaBreo said, he would be placed on remanded at Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP) in Balsam Ghut.
His next court date is April 23, 2020, where the readiness of the file in terms of going forward will be indicated to the court, and Westcott would report whether he had a lawyer or not for the continuation of the matter.
Smith was reported missing by her family on January 27 2016. More than a month later, a taxi driver travelling along the Hawkes Nest area reported an unpleasant odour and her rotting body was found.

When we sin, it is a sin against God.
Lusting, lying, sex with someone other than your spouse (fornication), coveting/jealousy/greed/wanting what someone else has, taking the Lord’s name in vain, blasphemy, worshipping idols, profanity, believe it or not may seem like you’re living and getting away with it happy in your feelings but they are all sins that we seem to forget.
Ancestral curses are real and go from generation to generation. We can’t continue going against God’s laws and expect God to save the day if we are not willing to follow God’s way.
Look it up. Instead of posting rubbish on social media, use the internet to understand the meaning of Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
It’s tragic what Ms. Smith’s family have had to experience. Remember Romans 12:9: Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
No-one can outwit God.
He never called her again....he knew she was dead?
He was armed and intended to kill her.?
Why?
Were they romantically involved?
Was it a business transaction gone wrong?
All kinda dregs come to VI sayin dem build up the VI.
Daily women and children ,in parts of the upper caribbean are brutalised and regularly murdered by their men. Who knows, it could very well be the anger instilled by the general sexual habits of their mothers,their sisters they saw as a boy growing up,but I agree that the anger, the lack of respect and the disdain is there. Tolian men and women, from my experience, are more reserved and respectable and are not prone to murder,stealing,prostitution and other societal destructive behaviour. Tolian women are a rare sight in the bars and in the the clubs and never on street dressed for sale. The ones that you might run into are the children of the upper caribbean expats who have status of belonginger. Much like this Ashsn Wescott just arrested for Ms Smith murder.
