He is 21-year-old Romario Brown, a resident of Rocky Valley in Stony Hill, St Andrew.

He was charged Monday night by detectives attached to the St Andrew North Police Division.

Brown was arrested on Friday during an operation in St Ann’s Bay, a day after Pottinger, an openly gay man, was found murdered at his St Andrew residence.
