A man formerly accused of murdering the son of veteran trade unionist John Pinder and attempting to murder another man will have his bail application heard before a Supreme Court judge today.
Jamean Johnson, whose charges of murder and attempted murder have been reduced to aiding and abetment to murder and aiding and abetment to attempted murder, had his matter adjourned by Justice Bernard Turner after the Crown requested an adjournment so that it could give a more informed response to his bail application.
He returns to court at 9.45 this morning.
Johnson was one of two men accused of murdering Pinder Jr in 2016, the other being Dylan Brown. The two men were alleged to have intentionally caused the death of the 27 year old and attempted to kill Kerrigan McCoy.
According to initial reports from police, on the night in question, Pinder Jr was in his Hillside Park home off Bernard Road playing video games with several male friends when unknown persons shot through a window of the home.
Pinder Jr was shot several times and pronounced dead at the scene. Mr McCoy was also shot. He was rushed to hospital by ambulance and treated for his injuries.
