Two arraigned for Haitian man’s murder
Two teenagers were yesterday charged with the murder of a Haitian man last month.
Veronal Verona was gunned down at Palm Beach Street and Cordeaux Avenue as he headed to work on October 25.
Police have charged Bernard Taylor, 18, of Key West Street, and a 15-year-old, with Verona’s murder and armed robbery.
Prosecutors say Verona was robbed of his wallet that contained $700. The accused teenagers were not required to enter a plea to the charges at their arraignment before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.
They have been remanded to Her Majesty’s Prison as the court does not have jurisdiction to consider bail for those offenses. However, Ferguson-Pratt advised them of their right to seek bail in the Supreme Court.
Prosecutors plan to fast-track the case to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment.
