A MAN was remanded to prison on Friday afternoon following his arraignment in connection with a double murder in Fox Hill.

Calvin Jolly, 52, stood before Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes facing two murder charges under section 291 (1)(b) of the Penal Code, which does not attract the discretionary death penalty if a conviction is reached at trial.

It is alleged that he intentionally caused the deaths of Chavaz Hepburn and Samuel Rolle on June 12.

According to reports, both men were were standing outside on Adderley Street shortly after 9pm when they were approached and shot by a gunman.

Chief Magistrate Forbes informed the accused that he would not be allowed to enter a plea to the allegations because his case would be fast-tracked to the Supreme Court where a formal arraignment would take place.

This would occur through service of a voluntary bill of indictment, scheduled for July 18 when he returns to Magistrates Court.

He was remanded to the Department of Correctional Services in the interim. However, he was advised of his right to apply for bail to the Supreme Court.

Jolly was unrepresented in Friday's arraignment.
