On January 1, 1965, Drummond was jailed for the murder of his girlfriend, Anita ‘Marguerita’ Mahfood, and in August that year, the Skatalites played their last show. The break-up resulted in the formation of two supergroups, Jackie Mitto And The Soul Brothers (Later the Soul Vendors and finally Sound Dimension) and Tommy McCook and The Supersonics. Drummond died in the Bellevue Asylum on May 6, 1969 at age 37.
