Married socialite Jasmine Hartin, 32, is charged with manslaughter for the fatal shooting of Belize cop 'during a massage after drinking' - but could avoid any jail time by paying a hefty FINE

Jasmine Hartin, 32, who is married to the son of British billionaire Lord Michael Ashcroft, was taken into custody last Friday after Superintendent Henry Jemmott, 42, was shot behind the ear with his own revolver.

Police believe the pair had been drinking and fooling around with Jemmott's service revolver when it accidentally fired, causing the 6ft officer to topple off a pier in the luxury coastal enclave of Ambergris Caye.

Hartin told detectives she was giving the officer a massage moments before the freak accident, according to local news reports.

Hartin was found at the scene by a security guard 'hysterical' and covered in blood, but clammed up and summoned a lawyer once she was in police custody, sources said.

The blonde socialite has spent the past four days holed up in a tiny concrete cell at the stiflingly hot police and magistrates court complex in San Pedro, the tropical resort's only town.

Hartin was arraigned behind a cloak of secrecy on Monday in San Pedro, despite authorities insisting the glamorous mother-of-two would not receive any preferential treatment.

Police abruptly ejected reporters and members of the public from the building before she was taken from the tiny, concrete holding cell to the court, one floor above, at around 3:30pm local time.

Hartin will spend another night in a squalid Belize jail cell after her attorney, Godfrey Smith, emerged from the courthouse late Monday saying his client had been denied bail.

Really, you don’t know? It has long been a BJ signal from up and coming wanna-be actresses, wanna-be models, and generally hot women looking to improve their financial station in life. Of course, to be the recipient, you have to have a very fat wallet or a position of power (which makes your wallet very fat) in the movie, model, political and multi-millionaire circles.

Hartin claims she invited the veteran officer to her apartment where the pair drank and discussed her personal security.

Yep, totally.

Guns and drinking is a Southern thing. Don’t try this in Belize. 😏
