Antigua Observer: After eight months behind bars on remand, three men charged with robbery walked away scot-free this week having been informed that their case was being dismissed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Jaquan Teague of Fort Road, and Irannie Grant and Neil Mitchell, both of Parham, were believed to have carried out the robbery at a superette in Parham on July 15 2022 and, in the process, shot and injured 57-year-old Claudette Edwards.<\/p>\n

They were also said to have robbed her of an undisclosed sum of money.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Grant and Mitchell were charged with attempted murder, shooting with intent, and robbery on July 21 that year and were remanded at their first court appearance the next day.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

About a week later Teague was arrested and charged alongside them after he surrendered to the police.<\/p>\n

Since then, the men were waiting to hear if the police had mounted enough evidence against them to send their case up to the High Court.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

On Wednesday, Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel dismissed the case based on directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions who apparently indicated that the matter was not investigated properly.<\/p>\n
