POLICE have charged a Sangre Grande attorney with perverting the course of justice in connection with the homicide probe into the killing of 22-year-old Candice Honore, whose decomposing body was discovered in Valencia on July 17.

The attorney was initially detained on suspicion of harbouring a person of interest in the case, but a habeas corpus ruling later determined that his detention exceeded the lawful limit, police said in a statement on July 26.

After consultation with Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC, investigators were advised to proceed with the charge.
