A Jamaican national has been cleared of another serious charge after prosecutors withdrew an aggravated robbery case against him on Monday.

Methoni Vernon, who was acquitted of capital murder in February 2025 due to extradition irregularities, was formally discharged by Justice Tunde Bakre in the High Court.

The charges stemmed from the 2014 murder of farmer Roy Carradice, who was shot multiple times during a robbery near Cassada Gardens Racetrack. Vernon was extradited from Dominica in 2016, but questions arose over the timing and legality of his initial charging.

His lawyer, Andrew O’Kola, successfully challenged the case on procedural grounds.

  1. Police prosecutorial team must take responsibility for these goofs and screw up. Justice must not only be done but seen to be done. The family of the deceased deserve justice.

  2. He should be sent back to Jamaica before someone else falls prey to him again
    Send him home
    Fine the police that is what we get when u get promoted by friend n company
    Dunce elements them wanna be police prosecutors

  3. The family of the deceased rest their case in the one and only true God where justice is a must.
    The time will come when he will pay for all the wrongs, pain and heartache he caused.
    I don’t have anything against him. I forgave him and rest his case in Gods hands.

  4. So a suspected murderer walks free not because he is innocent but because of legal blunders by persons in our system.. and the a.g. still has the keys to his office

  5. Boy I tell you. I wonder if chantel will ever get Justice. If these people are walking and they did the crime how can we have hope in this system? Tell Me. Antigua is a lawless country.. killers walking out of court..

  6. JUSTICE FOE CHANTEL NOW! THE INVESTIGATIOBS ARE FAR FROM COMPLETE.! NO BIBY IS FOOLED BY YOUR TRICKERY. JUSTICE FOR CHANTEL NOW!

  7. Well well the yardies a take over poor lickle antigua gone to the dog’s more will fall victim to this man get he mother skunt out of antigua.

  8. When is this, “Caribbean brother”; going to be deported? We can go ahead until he murders someone else. We continue to play with this nonsense of Open-door policy even though it’s killing our people. Enough is enough.

  9. Does anyone knows what village he lives ? We need to keep tabs on them here, inform neighborhood watch groups, so
    If anyone know where he lives put it down here . Need to inform our community to be on guard
