St Ann Businessman Developer Again Denied Bail


KINGSTON, Jamaica:
For the second time in three days a magistrate has denied bail for prominent real estate developer, Christopher Kerr, saying she has doubts about his identity.

"The real issue for me is, I don't see who I am bailing," said Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court this morning.

Kerr has been charged by the Major Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Task Force with four counts of forgery and two counts of uttering fraudulent documents.

Prosecutors, in strenuously objecting to bail, told the court that Kerr owns an aircraft and is a trained pilot.

In addition, prosecutors say he is a Canadian citizen and the holder of a United States visa.

However, defence attorney, Hugh Wildman, denied that his client owns a plane.

Prosecutors have claimed that Kerr has three birth certificates, three passports, two driver's licences and two sets of taxpayer registration numbers.

However, Wildman maintains that his client, who was born Donovan Watson Kerr, did a deed poll and changed his name to Christopher Watson-Kerr.

He also said his client has been conducting business in the name of Christopher Watson-Kerr.

However, Pusey was concerned about the name Christopher Watson-Kerr, saying a deed poll cannot be used to change a person's last name.

"This is a serious matter it's not just a deed poll," she said.

KINGSTON, Jamaica — Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey is to decide on Wednesday whether to offer bail to real estate developer Christopher Kerr in relation to his fraud case.
Kerr has been charged with four counts of uttering forged documents and two counts forgery.
It is alleged that Kerr, who gave his name in court as Christopher Watson-Kerr, obtained three passports, two tax registration numbers, two driver's licences and four birth certificates in the name Christopher Watson-Kerr.
The problem stems from the fact that the birth name of the accused is Donovan Watson Kerr, Watson being his middle name.
Kerr’s attorney Hugh Wildman renewed bail application in the Resident Magistrate’s Court on Monday.

'I'm not the X6 suspect'

Land developer Chris Kerr not subject of Sunday Observer story

REAL estate developer Christopher Kerr has dismissed public speculation that he is the suspect pointed to in yesterday's Sunday Observer lead story titled 'Who is the X6 killer?
The 35-year-old accomplished land developer — who drives a Toyota Land Cruiser — said he had been inundated with calls from friends and associates and would like to make it clear that he is not wanted by the police in connection with the July 1 shooting death of 17-year-old Kingston College student Khajeel Mais.
"I don't own any X6, never driven one and have no desire to own an X6," said Kerr.
He was speaking in the presence of his attorneys Jennifer Messado and Patrick Bailey during a visit to the Observer's Kingston headquarters as a result of the article.
Added Messado: "He owns neither an X5 nor an X6 and has never owned an X5 or an X6."
Additionally, Kerr said he has had no association, business or otherwise, with former Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher 'Dudus' Coke.
The story said that the X6 killer — who has fled to the United States since the shooting — was associated with Coke, who is to face trial in New York on September 12 on drug-trafficking and gunrunning charges.
Other similarities between Kerr and those of the suspect in the article, Bailey outlined, are the age group, the holding of a Canadian passport, the dark complexion, real estate developments in Liguanea, Norbrook, Constant Spring and on Red Hills Road, the ownership of a jet, and the involvement in an accident.
Yesterday, Messado listed Kerr's development as St Michael's Rivera in Liguanea; Gran Oaks at the Corner of Paddington Terrace and Liguanea Avenue, Plantation Spring on Red Hills Road and Front Nine in Norbrook. The name of his company is Plantation Development. Kerr has been a real estate developer for the past 11 years and is registered with the Real Estate Board.
The article also said that the suspect had strong ties with the police and with both political parties, however, he has greater loyalty to the People's National Party.
Yesterday, Kerr and his lawyers made it clear that while he associates with people from both sides of the political divide, he has no loyalty to either party.
"A lot of persons have determined that he is the person the article is referring to. We want to nip it in the bud," said Bailey.
Mais's killer fled to US shortly after the shooting incident in the Havendale community of St Andrew. The killing occurred after the taxi in which the teen was travelling had an accident with the BMW X6, a luxury sport utility vehicle. Arrangements are being made by the police to have the suspect captured and returned to the island.

Third Time No Charm For Kerr

Third Time No Charm For Kerr

Published: Thursday | July 17, 20142 Comments




A prosecutor yesterday revealed that well-known real estate developer Christopher Kerr used that name to apply for a passport and a taxpayer registration number (TRN) from as far back as 2000, 11 years before he sought to have it changed through a deed poll.
It was one of several disclosures made by prosecutor Nigel Parke that influenced a magistrate's decision to deny the businessman bail for a third time in less than a week, when the case was mentioned in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
The businessman, who was born Donovan Watson Kerr, has been charged with four counts of forgery and two counts of uttering forged documents, after police investigators reported seizing four birth certificates, three passports, two TRNs and two driver's licences from his home in the name of Christopher Watson-Kerr and his birth name.
His attorney, Hugh Wildman, initially argued that Kerr did a deed poll in January 2011, to have his name changed to Christopher Watson-Kerr and was doing business in that name in anticipation that the process would soon be completed.
But in outlining the allegations against the businessman yesterday, Parke told the court that police investigations showed that in October 2000, the businessman applied for a Jamaican passport using his assumed name.
He said during checks with the Registrar General's Department (RGD) to obtain the original copy of the birth certificate used to support the passport application, it was discovered that the birth certificate was assigned to someone other than Kerr.
DOB DIFFERENCES
According to the prosecutor, there were differences with the date of birth and the mother's maiden name.
Parke said in 2003 and 2005, the businessman applied for a taxpayer registration number (TRN) and a Jamaican driver's licence in the name of Christopher Watson-Kerr and charged that again, the dates of birth on both applications were incorrect.
Still, the prosecutor told the court that months after the 2011 deed poll, Kerr sought to renew a Jamaican driver's licence that had been issued in his birth name, Donovan Kerr.
Parke said during a question-and-answer session with police investigators yesterday, Kerr admitted that he has two TRNs and that he has a United States visa in the name of 'Donovan Waton-Kerr'.
"The Crown is without possession of any passport for the accused, whether Jamaican or otherwise," Parke said, noting that Kerr is a Canadian citizen.
But seeking to persuade Resident Magistrate Kaysha Grant to offer his client bail, Wildman sought to explain that the businessman did two deed polls, the first coming "between 1998 and 1999", to have his name changed to Christopher Watson-Kerr.
However, the attorney said when Kerr's business partner died in a motor vehicle accident some time later, the businessman was unable to locate the documents that gave effect to the name change, prompting a question from the magistrate.
"Are you saying there is no information pursuant to that deed poll... nothing to suggest that he did a deed poll?" Grant questioned.
Yes," Wildman replied, adding that a decision was then taken to make a second application in 2011.
He also told the court that one of the birth certificates found at his client's home was mailed to him with the incorrect date of birth by the RGD and that the incorrect name on the US visa issued to him was the fault of the US Embassy.
"These charges are just sensationalism... much a do about nothing," Wildman insisted.
When the attorney sought to emphasise that Kerr had no previous convictions, the magistrate interrupted.
"Which one of them has no criminal convictions?"Grant asked, in reference to the two names prosecutors alleged the businessman was using.
"Donovan Watson-Kerr has none and this man sitting before you, Christopher Watson-Kerr, has no criminal convictions," Wildman responded.
Grant, however, denied bail, noting she was concerned that Kerr's travel documents have not been turned over to the police and citing allegations that he has been using two names.
He is scheduled to go on trial on August 12.
