A MAN is behind bars after being charged with a double shooting off Peter Street that left a 33-year-old man dead last weekend.
Assistant Chief Magistrate Subusola Swain charged Ethan Francis, 25, with murder and attempted murder.
Francis is accused of approaching Lucson Paul and Ambrose Jones as they stood outside Paul’s residence on Peter Street after the suspect emerged from a track road on July 30. He allegedly pulled out a firearm and shot the two men before fleeing the scene on foot around 10.30am that day.
While the 23-year-old Jones recovered at the hospital, Mr Paul, 33, was pronounced dead upon arrival at Princess Margaret Hospital. Francis’ case will be moved to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment due for service on October 19.
