A MAN with two pending murder charges was denied bail yesterday after he was accused of failing to sign in at his local police station 30 times last year.
Magistrate Samuel McKinney arraigned Derico “Sparky” Bowe, 31, on violation of bail conditions yesterday.
Bowe was on bail after he was charged with two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
He allegedly murdered Andrew Mackey and tried to kill Dentry Williams on May 4, 2022, in New Providence.
He also allegedly killed Arison Pratt on April 30, 2022.
While on release for these charges, the defendant allegedly failed to sign in at his local police station on 30 separate days between September 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Inspector Deon Barr, who served as the prosecutor, objected to the defendant’s bail, citing the severity of the charges and noting that the defendant was charged with prior bail breaches.
Bowe was denied bail and will be remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until his trial begins on March 12.
