A MAN awaiting trial for murder was remanded into custody after being accused of violating his curfew four times.

Senior Magistrate Kara Turnquest-Deveaux arraigned Alcott Fox, 31, on charges of breaching his bail conditions.

Fox is awaiting trial for his alleged role in the November 2022 murder of Malik Fernander in Exuma. At the time of his death, Fernander was also out on bail for a separate pending murder charge.

Prosecutors allege that while on Supreme Court bail, Fox failed to comply with his residential curfew on four occasions between February 10 and 13.

Fox pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The prosecution objected to bail, citing the seriousness of his pending murder charge.

His bail was denied, and he was ordered remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his trial begins on April 2.
