A MAN awaiting retrial for his alleged involvement in a fatal graveyard shooting in Grand Bahama in 2016 was sentenced to four months in prison yesterday after he admitted to breaking curfew.
Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Doyle Mackey, 52, with 10 counts of violation of bail conditions.
The defendant was on bail charged with two counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder.
Mackey is alleged to have shot and killed brothers Carlos and Carlton Hamilton at McClean’s Town cemetery in 2016. During this shootout, Mackey is also alleged to have shot and injured Jermaine Ferguson, Joshua Williams and John Edgecombe.
While the defendant was previously convicted and ordered to serve a 35-year prison term, this was quashed by the Court of Appeals in 2021, and a retrial was ordered.
Mackey failed to obey his court-ordered residential curfew ten times in New Providence between October 8, 2023, and January 6.
After pleading guilty to the bail charges and accepting the facts, Mackey was sentenced to serve four months at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
