A MOTHER cried out that gang members “killed my son” as an inquest was held into the man’s disappearance more than a decade ago. 

Charlton Moxey went missing on May 1, 2015, after he reportedly went out with friends. His mother, Michelle Gray, yesterday gave testimony to the inquest alleging that he had been murdered and saying that before his disappearance he had been afraid for his life. 

Ms Gray said she was told by her son’s girlfriend, Sherene Williams, that Moxey had been picked up by his friends, Leo Jones and Levardo Whylly, that evening and had not been seen since.

During her testimony, Ms Gray erupted in tears and had to be comforted by Glendon Rolle, the attorney who represented Moxey’s family at the inquest.

Ms Gray said her son seemed very afraid and shaky the last time she saw him. She said he was afraid for his life. She also said her son told that if anything should happen to him that she could buy his house.

Ms Gray said in the month leading up to his disappearance Moxey appeared uneasy. She further said that her son went to the East Street South Police Station and reported that members of a gang wanted to kill him. However, she said her son never told her why they wanted to kill him.

Supt Evans testified that Moxey was fitted with a monitoring device at the time of his disappearance. The officer said on the day of his disappearance the device went offline and has never been recovered.

Moxey was granted bail in October 2014 for an armed robbery charge from 2013.

Angelo Whitfield serves as the evidence marshal. The Coroner is Kara Turnquest Deveaux.
