A MAN was remanded after being accused of killing a 33-year-old man on Deveaux Street last week.
Acting Chief Magistrate Roberto Reckley charged Ralph Joseph, 23, with murder.
Joseph and an accomplice were allegedly armed with handguns when they approached Diamond Cox as he stood outside a building on Deveaux Street on November 7. While Cox attempted to flee, the assailants shot him. He later died of his injuries in hospital. The suspects reportedly fled the scene in a white Japanese vehicle.
At the time of his death, Cox was on bail for numerous pending drug charges.
The accused was told that his case would be moved to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). Joseph will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until a higher court grants him bail.
His VBI is due for service on February 22, 2024.
