A MAN was sent to prison on Monday after he was accused of aiding in the murder of a 19-year-old earlier this year in South Beach.

Lougens Francoeur, 27, appeared before Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain on charges of abetment to murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

It is alleged that, on February 5 in New Providence, Francoeur being concerned with others purposefully conspired as well as aided and abetted in the murder of Garvin Hanna.

The 19-year-old male victim’s body was found near the water at South Beach on Baillou Hill Road South at around 9pm that day clad in a white T-shirt and black pants with apparent gunshot injuries.

Francoeur was remanded to prison until he is granted bail. His case will proceed to Supreme Court by Voluntary Bill of Indictment, due on August 17.
