THE MAN HELD FOR THE NEW YEAR’S DAY murder of Jason Carter was formally charged in the Oistins Magistrate’s Court by Chief Magistrate Pamela Beckles today.
Renaldo Stevenson Kirkley Carter, 31, was charged with murdering his relative Jason Carter on January 1 and having in his possession 14 rounds of ammunition without a valid licence.
Carter, who was not required to plead to the two indictable charges, was also charged with damaging a $300 enamel sink, property of the Crown, between Tuesday and yesterday.
He pleaded not guilty to that charge.
The 31-year-old unemployed man from 1st Avenue Vauxhall, Christ Church, is on remand and will reappear in court on March 5 after being examined at the prison’s psychiatric clinic. (Coastline Communication).
