Two men charged with a 2009 murder were freed on Wednesday after the State could offer no evidence against them.

Prosecutors repeatedly failed to file the necessary application to admit the statements of its key witness, who has been dead for nearly 16 years.

Before Justice Sherene Murray-Bailey were Randy "Saroop" Flemming, and Okachukwn "Chanka" Moyo, charged with Jason Fullerton's murder.
