Singer Faith D'Aguilar, who was accused of being in possession of a cannon that was reportedly stolen from a heritage site, can now breathe a sigh of relief after the case against her was adjourned sine die yesterday.

The matter was withdrawn in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court after Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey informed the investigating officer that properly investigations were not done. D'Aguilar said she had purchased the cannon to add to her antique collection and did not know anything about it being stolen.

The court earlier heard that one of two missing cannons that were stolen from a heritage site in Runaway Bay, St Ann, was found at D'Aguilar's home in the Kingston 10 area. The other cannon was reportedly found in Constant Spring, St Andrew.

former medal winner

D'Aguilar, a folk singer, is known for songs such as Santa Ketch Up Inna Mango Tree. She was also a former festival gold and silver medal winner, but it was probably her work with the late Miss Lou in Jamaican theatre that propelled her to prominence.

RM Pusey told the accused the matter was dismissed saying, "You may or may not hear about this case again."
