STEPHEN “Die” Stubbs now faces one less accusation of abetment to murder after one of the three charges against him was withdrawn.

Stubbs, 37, of Ridgeland Park, returned to Magistrates Court from Her Majesty’s Prison yesterday, to be formally discharged of abetment to the murder of Delano Morris.

In June, Stubbs was escorted into the Nassau Street Magistrate’s Court Complex flanked by police officers.

He was charged with aiding and abetting the August 21, 2009 murder of Morris.

Stubbs was not required to enter a plea to the charge due to the nature of the offence and was remanded to prison without bail having been considered.

On July 25, Stubbs was back in court, accused of abetting a double murder.
It is alleged that he aided and abetted the murders of Jamacio Jones and Clayton Smith on September 15, 2011.
Jones and Smith were found in a white Maxima in the middle of the road in Ridgeland Park with gun shot wounds.

Smith, who was shot in the back of the head, died at the scene while Jones died of his injuries in hospital two days later.

Stubbs is expected to be presented with Voluntary Bills of Indictment in relation to these murders on September 24.
