A MAN accused of killing someone during an armed robbery earlier this year had his latest bail application rejected by the Court of Appeal.

Leroy Estime, 27, made an extension of time application to appeal his bail denial.

Estime is charged with murder and attempted armed robbery. He, and an accomplice, is accused of killing 38-year-old Escaniel Doudou in a botched robbery on February 25.

Ciji Smith-Curry represented the accused.

After rejecting his bail extension appeal, Justice Barnett told the defendant he was within his rights to reapply for bail before the Supreme Court. However if he is once again denied bail, Estime was informed that he could appeal the decision within the statutory period.

Until bail is granted, Estime will remain on remand at the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services.
