Former Jamaican MP Jolyan Silvera’s bail application postponed | Deeproots TV
The bail application for former Western St Mary Member of Parliament, Jolyan Silvera, who is charged with the murder of his wife, Melissa, has been postponed to June 3.

Silvera, who was initially denied bail by the Supreme Court in May 2023, was set to make a renewed application at the Court of Appeal on Tuesday. However, the hearing was adjourned after his defence team submitted an additional document, requiring more time for the prosecution to review it.

The 52-year-old businessman’s bail application will now be heard in its entirety in June.

In February, High Court Judge Justice Vinette Graham Allen scheduled the trial for January 12, 2026. A trial readiness hearing is also set for September 25, 2025.

Silvera was charged with murder after a post-mortem report revealed the presence of bullet fragments in his wife’s body, contradicting initial claims that she died in her sleep from natural causes. Melissa Silvera was found dead at the couple’s upper St Andrew home on November 10, 2023.

Following investigations, Silvera was charged with murder in January 2024 and has remained in custody since.
