HOURS after being discharged on double murder charges, a Carapo man was rearrested on the same allegations and returned to custody, May 14.

Ceyon “Six” Nicholas, of Simon Road, Carapo, had been before High Court master Whitney Franklin, charged with the October 25, 2021, murders of Richie Richard Ragoo and Emmanuel Nyron Phillip, and the attempted murder of another man. He also faced firearm and ammunition-related charges.

At a sufficiency hearing under the Administration of Justice (Indictable Proceedings) Act (AJIPA), Franklin discharged the matter after prosecutors failed to present key witness evidence despite several extensions. The sufficiency hearing is intended to determine whether enough evidence exists for a case to be sent to trial in the High Court.
