Zamir O\u2019Garro, one of three men charged with the murder of Arthur James, died at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre on Tuesday, nearly three years after being remanded in custody.<\/p>

O\u2019Garro reportedly became ill while in custody on Friday and was taken to hospital by ambulance. He was said to be conscious and speaking during transport but was later placed on life support. He died early Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O\u2019Garro had been on remand since 2021 in connection with James\u2019 disappearance in October of that year. Days after James was reported missing, a burnt-out vehicle containing charred human remains was found in the Freetown and Willoughby Bay area. Forensic tests later confirmed the remains were those of James.<\/p>

O\u2019Garro was charged alongside his brother, Obasic O\u2019Garro, and their cousin, Uroy Joseph, all from Liberta. Obasic O\u2019Garro died on February 7, 2024, after suffering health complications, including kidney problems.<\/p>
