(Jamaica Gleaner) A minister of religion who is accused of marrying three women without getting a divorce has been remanded on bigamy charges.
Forty-five-year-old Peter Wellesely of Spanish Town, St. Catherine appeared in the Spanish Town Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday before Resident Magistrate Simone Wolfe-Reece.
She ordered that Wellesley be remanded until August 28.
It is alleged that the pastor married three different women between 1996 and 2008.
The discovery was made when the second wife went to the Registrar General’s Department to get copies of some records.
She then made a report to the Spanish Town police.
An investigation was launched which resulted in Wellesley being charged with three counts of bigamy.
