A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday in connection with the shooting death of a 22-year-old mother last week outside her home.
Jeffrey Clarke, 23, represented by Alfonso Lewis and Ian Cargill, faced Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt on a charge of murder.
Clarke, being concerned with another, is accused of shooting Tadasha Morgan, a woman of Jamaican descent, outside of her home multiple times around 11pm on October 14 in the neighbourhood of Red Land Acres.
The victim died at the scene.
Clarke was not required to enter a plea in court. He was informed that his matter would be fast tracked to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI) .
As the chief magistrate lacked the jurisdiction to grant him bail, the accused was told he had the right to apply for it in the Supreme Court.
Until bail is granted to Clarke, he will be remanded at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
Before being taken into remand the accused was allowed a brief moment with relatives.
Clarke’s VBI is set for service on February 9, 2023.
