A 47-year-old man from D’Abadie has been charged with the murder of a retiree and the attempted murder of a close friend.

Marlon Quashie of Fair View is expected to appear virtually before a High Court master in the South Criminal Court C on March 7.

A few days ago, police from the Homicide Bureau of Investigations, Region Three, submitted a file to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for instructions. On March 6, deputy DPP Sabrina Dougdeen-Jaglal instructed the police to charge Quashie with the murder of labourer Lennox Williams, 64, and the attempted murder of nursing assistant Lyndon Gumbs, 44.
