CANADIAN MURDER SUSPECT EXTRADITED FOLLOWING CAPTURE BY JFAT
A Canadian fugitive, who fled to Jamaica, was yesterday extradited to Canada.
She has been identified as 43-year-old Debbie Sue Jones, who was wanted by the Toronto Police for second degree murder.
Jones was apprehended by operatives from the Jamaica Fugitive Apprehension Team (JFAT) within the Specialized Investigation Branch (SIB) on Monday, January 19, 2026, and she subsequently waived her rights to an extradition hearing. Jones was officially handed over to Law Enforcement Officials from Canada at the Norman Manley International Airport on Friday, March 06.
Reports are that on September 30, 2024, Jones along with another assailant allegedly shot and killed a 42-year-old man in Toronto then fled to Jamaica to evade prosecution.
Superintendent of Police Oral Henry, of the SIB, said Jamaica will not provide a safe haven for persons evading justice in other jurisdictions. “Our island will not be a sanctuary for those seeking to evade prosecution in other countries. Our investigators will continue to pursue alleged offenders with all available resources and are committed to maintaining the integrity of our borders, with the support of our international partners,” said Superintendent Henry.
