A February court date has been set for 42-year-old Deon Lloyd, charged with the country’s first killing of the year.
Lloyd, of Lower Ottos, is accused of fatally shooting 35-year-old Javorn Williams during a confrontation at Boggy Peak on 2 January. Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.
The committal hearing is scheduled for 9 February 2026 before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel. The matter was postponed after Lloyd’s recent court appearance.
Police arrested Lloyd while he was receiving medical treatment at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre. He remains in custody at His Majesty’s Prison.

Sad all around. Two lives ruined over what sounds like a senseless confrontation.
ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT????
Justice needs to take its course. Hoping the family of the victim gets some closure.
“The committal hearing is scheduled for 9 February 2026 before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel.”
She dropped the EDWARDS real fast boy.
Self defence is not murder. It will continue to postponded until it is squashed
Boggy Peak used to be such a peaceful area. It’s scary how violence can erupt anywhere now
February feels far away hope the family can finally get some peace when the case moves forward
his was one of those stories that shook the whole community. Gone too soon.
The man was even in the hospital when they arrested him… wild story.
He looked calm when he first appeared in court. Wonder what really happened that day.
Let’s hope the system does its job properly this time
