	Accused Claims Priest Made 'Advances' Go-Jamaica January 8, 2009 http://go-jamaica.com/news/read_article.php?id=5578 The man who is accused of the murder of Anglican Priest Father Richard Johnson told the police during an interview that he stabbed the priest after he made sexual advances towards him. Twenty-five year old labourer Prince Vale, of Tommy Hill district, Stony Hill, St. Andrew has been on trial in the Home Circuit Court since yesterday. Deputy Superintendent Roy Boyd testified today that on November 15, 2006, he interviewed Vale. The priest was fatally stabbed on the night of November 12, 2006 at the Anglican church rectory at Stony Hill. He said attorney-at-law Arthur Kitchin represented Prince during the interview. Vale said he went to the rectory about 9 p.m. on the night of the incident. He said he went to the priest for a pair of trousers and to talk to him about work. He reportedly told the police that it was not the first time he was going to the rectory and it was also not the first time that the priest had made sexual advances towards him. He said the priest let him into the house and they both went into his bedroom where he tried on the pair of trousers but it could not fit. After he took off the trousers, he said the priest tried to fondle him and began forcing him to be intimate with him and he stabbed him. The case continues tomorrow.
