{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A female dental assistant in Jamaica was charged with murder and kidnapping after police said she abducted an 8-year-old girl from school and killed her.
The woman was arrested roughly two weeks ago but wasn’t charged until Monday, nearly three months after the body of Danielle Rowe was found in the town of Portmore, just west of the capital of Kingston, according to Jamaica’s Constabulary Force.
