A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday after he was arraigned in connection with a murder that occurred a month ago.
Shaquille Munroe, 23, of Elizabeth Estates stood before Magistrate Andrew Forbes accused of intentionally causing the death of Jaynell Pierre on April 2.
According to reports, shortly after 6pm on the day in question, Pierre was sitting near an establishment located on Churchill Avenue when three men armed with a handgun approached and shot him before fleeing in a green Honda vehicle.
He was taken to hospital, but died of his injuries.
Munroe has been charged with murder under Section 291 (1)(B) of the Penal Code.
A charge under this section does not attract the discretionary death penalty if a conviction is reached at the end of trial.
He was not allowed to enter a plea to the charge due to the nature of the offence.
He will be able to do so after the case is forwarded to the Supreme Court through the presentation of a voluntary bill of indictment scheduled for May 31.
He was remanded to the Department of Correctional Services without bail. However, he can apply for a bond to the higher court.
Munroe was not represented in yesterday’s arraignment.
