PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) – A 25-year-old Jamaican man has been charged with the murder of businessman Sterling Francois, in Trinidad, whose bloodied body was found inside his home last month.

The Jamaican, Deandre Markland, appeared in court earlier this week, and the matter was adjourned to October 30 for a status hearing.

Markland, who was arrested on June 26, was charged on July 4 by the police following legal advice from the country’s Director of Public Prosecutions, Roger Gaspard.
