Hijacker’s Father To Face Negligence Charges
Earl Fray, father of Jamaican hijacker Stephen Fray, and whose gun was used in the process of his son’s hijacking of CanJet Flight 918, will reportedly be charged by the police with ‘negligence caused in the theft or loss of a firearm’. Stephen Fray reportedly stole his father’s gun and used it during the hijacking.
At least one shot was reportedly fired from the gun (a .38 revolver) on the aircraft during the hijacking, and it is expected that the police will recommend that Earl Fray’s firearm licence be revoked.
