A MAN was sentenced to six months in prison yesterday after he admitted to breaching curfew while on bail for a murder charge.
Rakeem Strachan, 30, stood before Senior Magistrate Carolyn Vogt-Evans on five counts of violation of bail conditions.
Strachan awaits trial for his alleged involvement in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Richard Charlton, Jr, on Butler Street on November 17, 2015.
While on release for these charges between January 21 and February 4, it is said the accused failed to abide by his daily residential curfew on five occasions.
In court, Strachan pleaded guilty to all five counts against him.
The magistrate sentenced him to six months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services. Strachan was further ordered to pay a fine of $1,500 or risk an additional three months in prison.
