A PINEWOOD Gardens resident was remanded to prison yesterday after being arraigned on a murder charge in a fatal shooting outside a nightclub on Tonique Williams-Darling Highway last weekend.
#Kensworth Francis, 21, of Pigeon Plum Street, appeared before Magistrate Andrew Forbes accused of intentionally causing the death of Ashton Demeritte on December 13.
#Shortly after 1.30am on the day in question, Demeritte was reportedly sitting in a vehicle outside the nightclub when a man armed with a handgun approached and shot him before fleeing in a white vehicle.
#The victim was rushed to hospital where he later died.
#Francis has been charged with murder under Section 291 (1)(B) of the Penal Code.
#A charge under this section does not attract the discretionary death penalty if a conviction is reached at the end of trial.
#He was not allowed to enter a plea to the charge due to the nature of the offence.
#The case is to be forwarded to the Supreme Court through the presentation of a voluntary bill of indictment on January 28, 2016.
#Francis was remanded to the Department of Correctional Services, but he has the right to apply for bail at the Supreme Court.
#Though no attorney was present for his arraignment, the accused informed the judge that he had retained the firm of Munroe and Associates to defend him.
