A MAN on bail for murder was fined $3,500 yesterday after he admitted to breaching his curfew five times this month.
Senior Magistrate Shaka Serville charged Keontae Pinder, 24, with five counts of violation of bail conditions.
Regina Bonamy represented the defendant.
Pinder was on release for two pending murder charges for his alleged involvement in the deaths of Rashad Bethel and D’Siorn Symonette in Pinewood Gardens on February 16, 2018.
Pinder failed to obey his Supreme Court ordered nightly residential curfew five times between February 10 and 27.
Following his guilty plea, the defendant was ordered to pay a total fine of $3,500 or risk three months in prison.
Magistrate Serville told the defendant that he is to pay $350 of his fine before his release and that he is expected to make $400 monthly payments until his debt is settled.
Pinder is to return to court for report on May 2.
