KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC –Two people, including a former medical student at the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, will return to court on September 10 in relation to the murder of 13-year-old Shanoya Wray.

Trinidadian schoolteacher Sanjay Maharaj, 27, and former medical student Lenardo Maddan were remanded when they appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court today.

The court was told that the post-mortem report and other documents have not been completed.

Wray's skeletal remains were found at a private property on July 20.

Maharaj is accused of killing the teenager and using chemicals to destroy the body.

Last year, the school teacher appeared in the Home Circuit Court on allegations of having sex with Shanoya, his former student.
