A MAN awaiting trial on a murder charge said he would submit an alibi to the Office of the Attorney General within 21 days.
Michael Preval, 29, of Golden Gates appeared in Magistrate’s Court yesterday for a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) presentation that would fast track his case to the Supreme Court for trial in the May 24 slaying of Craig Davis.
According to police, Davis was walking on Wulff Road when another man, after a brief exchange of words, shot him.
It happened around 6pm in the area of Wulff and Pinedale Roads.
Magistrate Constance Delancy informed Preval of the contents of the VBI and his right to enter an alibi in court or in 21 days to the Office of the Attorney General.
Preval chose the latter and is now scheduled to appear in the Supreme Court on September 9, before Justice Bernard Turner for his formal arraignment.
It is at that hearing that he will be allowed to enter a plea to the murder charge. He is represented by lawyer Ian Cargill.
He remains on remand at the Department of Correctional Services until his next court appearance.
