TWO MEN were charged yesterday with killing Garath Pyfrom as he attended a pool party on Marshall Road earlier this month.

They are also accused of attempting to kill two off-duty officers at the party.

Marquin Williams, 24, and Randy Mackey, 21, were charged with murder and two counts of attempted murder before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson Pratt.

The accused allegedly shot and killed 29-year-old Garath Pyfrom as he attended a pool party in the Marshall Road area on July 2.

During this same incident, the accused allegedly shot two off-duty officers, PC 3767 Shaquille Sweeting and PC 4548 Rashad Rolle.

The officers reportedly suffered gunshot injuries to their arms.

The accused’s case will be moved to the Supreme Court through a voluntary bill of indictment due for service on October 10.

Before being remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services, the defendants were allowed a moment with their respective families.
