Fox Hill court charges today



The men who police believe are behind the murders of four people in Fox Hill on December 27 will be arraigned in a magistrate's court today, according to Assistant Commissioner of Police Anthony Ferguson.


Police said two men will be charged at 2 p.m.


More than 60 people were arrested in connection with the case. However, police said most of them were released.


According to police, just after 6 p.m. on December 27, occupants of a dark gray Honda drove to the Fox Hill roundabout and shot into a crowd.


The group was gathered near the Fox Hill Original Congos Junkanoo shack waiting for the Boxing Day Junkanoo results for the B group category.


Shequille Demeritte, 19; Eric Morrison, 49; Claudzeno Davis, 37, and Sheniqua Sands, 30, were shot and killed.


Seven others were injured.


Demeritte, who was reportedly playing basketball at the time of the shooting, was shot in the head, according to eyewitnesses.


The Nassau Guardian understands that he died while being transported to hospital.


The assailants used a variety of weapons to carry out their crimes, according to Police Commissioner Ellison Greenslade.
