AN 18-year-old woman was remanded to prison yesterday after being charged with three murders, three attempted murders and a string of firearm and robbery offences stemming from a series of killings and other crimes last week.

Diamonique Webster is accused of taking part in three separate murders within about 20 hours between August 21 and 22, as well as an armed robbery and an alleged shootout with police.

She appeared before acting Chief Magistrate Ancella Evans on three counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder, three counts of possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life, three counts of possession of an unlicensed firearm, two counts of possession of ammunition, armed robbery, abetment to armed robbery, stealing and receiving.

Prosecutors allege Webster and an accomplice shot and killed Kimbo Guerrier, 51, outside an apartment complex at Soldier Road and Baillou Hill Road around 4pm on August 21.

Guerrier was found lying face down with multiple gunshot wounds.

The suspects allegedly fled east along Soldier Road in a white Japanese-model vehicle.

Hours later, around 3am on August 22, Webster and accomplices allegedly robbed the Shell gas station at Baillou Hill and Carmichael Roads while armed with firearms.

They are accused of stealing $1,582.25 from employee Raquel Clarke before fleeing in a white Japanese-model vehicle.

About four hours later, prosecutors allege Webster and accomplices ambushed Samuel Pascal, 52, as he arrived at his apartment on Joe Farrington Road.

Pascal was allegedly shot as he attempted to flee. His body was later found inside the apartment with multiple gunshot wounds.

The suspects allegedly escaped west along Joe Farrington Road in a silver SUV.

Webster is also accused of participating in the killing of Eric Stuart, 36, around noon that day while he was landscaping on the eastern side of Fire Trail Road.

Prosecutors allege Stuart was shot and killed before the suspects fled north in a white Japanese-model vehicle.

Later on August 22, police tracked a vehicle carrying Webster and three males to Allen Close in Pride Estates.

Prosecutors allege the suspects opened fire on officers, leading to an exchange of gunfire.

Webster allegedly tried to kill Constable Leon King, Able Seaman Raynaldo Pinder and Marine Seaman Lerecus Armbrister during the confrontation.

The suspects’ vehicle sustained extensive damage, while the three men allegedly escaped by jumping over a fence.

Webster was later found hiding beneath a bus and arrested.

Authorities allegedly recovered a black Smith & Wesson Springfield pistol, a green and black Tactical Omni hybrid rifle, a black Cali multi DB15 rifle, eight .40 rounds and one .223 round.

Webster also faces charges stemming from the alleged theft of a white 2014 Nissan Cube belonging to Oddesia Sands on July 19. The vehicle was valued at $4,500.

She pleaded not guilty to stealing and receiving and elected to have those charges tried before the magistrate.

Webster was not required to enter pleas to the remaining charges, which will proceed to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment.

She was denied bail on the stealing charges and was advised of her right to apply to the Supreme Court for bail on the indictable offences.

Webster was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until February 18, 2027, when the voluntary bill of indictment is expected to be served.

Her theft trial is scheduled for February 25, 2027.

Before she was taken into custody, Webster was allowed a brief moment with relatives in court. She and her mother both broke down in tears.

Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom prosecuted the case.
