New trial ordered after co-accused murdered
A man whose co-accused was murdered in the middle of the trial will get a new opportunity to contest the allegation.
Justice Bernard Turner discharged the jury hearing the armed robbery trial of Theophilus Lloyd and Lamar Roberts after the latter was gunned down outside his home in Pinewood Gardens on Monday.
Lloyd’s retrial has been set for February. He remains on remand at Her Majesty’s Prisons. Lloyd and Roberts were accused of a hold-up that occurred in 2010.
Roberts, who was wearing an ankle bracelet as a condition of his bail, was reportedly outside when three men in a charcoal Suzuki SUV ambushed him.
Roberts ran as the gunmen pursued him, pumping bullets into him.
Police have not released a possible motive for the crime.
