Remanded on murder charge

 The two Mc Pond, All Saints, residents charged with the murder of a fellow villager have been remanded to His Majesty’s Prison.

 Twenty-nine-year-old Kyle Taylor and 30-year-old Candace Sawyers appeared in court yesterday in connection with the killing of 35-year-old Sheldon Dias.

 The charges stem from an incident on Friday June 5th at Mc Pond, during which Dias sustained multiple injuries following an alleged altercation involving the two accused.

 Dias was allegedly attacked with cutlasses and a knife during the incident.

 Taylor and Sawyers were immediately taken into custody and had been assisting the police with investigations.

 Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel does not have jurisdiction to grant bail for offences of this nature, but the accused can apply in the High Court before a judge.

 With Committal proceedings set for August 26th, the pair is being represented by Attorney Wendel Alexander
