A 20-year-old man was imprisoned yesterday after being accused of fatally stabbing 18-year-old Sanchez Gittenz as he attended a friend’s party at a bar last weekend. 

A woman was also charged with abetting in the same murder.

Magistrate Raquel Whyms charged Bardon Major, aka “Brandon Major”, with murder. 

Nel Major, 23, was charged with abetment to murder.

Alphonso Lewis represented the accused.

Following a verbal argument, Major is accused of stabbing Gittenz multiple times near a bar on East Street and Soldier Road shortly after 2am on January 27. 

 While on the way to the hospital, Gittenz’s female friend reportedly crashed their car into a wall on East Street and Sands Lane.

The victim was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

The accused were told that their matter would be moved to the Supreme Court by a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). They will be sent to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until the higher court grants them bail. 

The VBIs in this matter are set for service on April 19.
