THREE men charged in connection with the 2023 double murder of two women at a pool party in Arima were discharged by a High Court master, who ruled there was insufficient evidence against them.

Brian St Rose, Christian Hernandez and Brian Hernandez, all of Temple Street, Arima, were charged with the murders of Candice Griffith and Alana Layne, as well as the wounding of three others on April 17, 2023.

After a sufficiency hearing, Master Margaret Sookraj-Goswami ruled there was insufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case for murder against the three men, and they were discharged of all charges.
