THE Court of Appeal has ordered a retrial for a Maracas, St Joseph man convicted of killing a man during a robbery at a card game in 2010.

Massamba Shaka St Prix was convicted alongside another man in 2022 for the felony murder of Quincy De Four. The second man did not appeal his conviction.

At the trial, prosecutors said De Four was gambling with friends near his home at Guaratta Hill, Maracas/St Joseph, around 1.15 am on April 24, 2010, when two men attempted to rob the group. One of the men used a cutlass to beat and rob the victims while the other man allegedly held a gun and acted as a lookout.
