Police reports state that around 6:30 p.m. on May 11th, Charles was involved in an argument which ended in Charles being chopped several times about his body.

He was rushed to the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries at about 1:30 a.m. the following day.

They were not allowed to plead and were all remanded to Her Majesty’s prison. The matter was transferred to the Serious Offences Court for Monday May 26th for a Preliminary Inquiry date to be set.
