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).
