A MAN was sentenced to eight months in the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services yesterday for habitually violating his Supreme Court bail for murder and armed robbery charges.

Kendrick “Papa” Lundy, 28, stood before Magistrate Kendra Kelly for sentencing after pleading guilty to violating conditions of bail. This $30,000 Supreme Court bail was granted to him by Justice Archer-Minns for his charge in connection with the fatal shooting of Angelo Lightbourne on June 3, 2020.

Rolle has been out on bail since July 21, 2021.

According to evidence presented by prosecutor Sergeant Vernon Pyfrom, Lundy was found in breach of his 9pm to 6am daily curfew at his residence five times between August 5–28. Tracking details from his electronic monitoring device found that he had left his house multiple times beyond the court mandated hours. In view of this, Magistrate Kelly convicted Lundy for the offence and sentenced him to eight months at BDCS.

The accused has seven days to appeal sentencing.
