In Trelawny, Cleon Buckle, a Jamaican from Kmft, beats his wife with a machete

 After the machete incident, Buckle was taken into custody and charged by the Ulster Spring Police on Friday, September 19.

Investigators from the Trelawny Centre for Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) indicated that an arrest warrant had previously been issued for Buckle in connection with a separate case. He is accused of repeatedly sexually assaulting a minor in 2024.

Arrangements are being made for Buckle to be interviewed and formally charged with these additional offences. He is scheduled to appear in the Ulster Spring Parish Court on Monday, October 6, to address the unlawful wounding charge.

Reports are that about 10:30 a.m. on September  14, the woman went to Buckle’s home to retrieve a car key. An argument ensued, escalating when Buckle allegedly used a machete to strike the woman on her arm before continuing to attack her repeatedly across her body.

A report was made to the police, an investigation was launched and Buckle was subsequently taken into custody and charged.

Investigations are ongoing.
