A MAN was arraigned in the magistrates’ court yesterday in connection with the country’s 83rd homicide this year.

Kevin Glinton, 22, of Nassau Village appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Joyanne Ferguson-Pratt facing a charge of murder.

It was claimed that on September 25, and by means of unlawful harm, he intentionally caused the death of Denero Lewis.

On that day, around 9.30pm, Lewis was walking on John Road when he was approached and shot several times by a man he knew.

The suspect ran in an unknown direction.

The victim was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries a short time later.

Glinton was not required to enter a plea to the charge due to the nature of the offence and was told that his case would be tried in the Supreme Court.

A Voluntary Bill of Indictment is scheduled to be served to him on January 15, 2014 to fast-track the case to the higher court.

Glinton was remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison, Fox Hill, until completion of his trial.
