A third murder-accused, Shakiel Thomas, in the Bruce Greenaway case was refused bail in the High Court yesterday.
Thomas, a soldier among the group of persons charged with the murder of Bruce “Jungle” Greenaway, had requested bail and was awaiting the court decision earlier this month.
Around two weeks ago, two other soldiers among the murder-charged group were denied bail; Armal Warner and Aliyah Martin both 20 years of age.
Martin and Warner are jointly charged with 25 year-old Shakiel Thomas, a fellow officer of the Defence Force, and Jason Modeste, 44, a policeman.
The quartet had appeared before the All Saints Magistrate’s Court on Monday June 8 and were remanded for the capital offence.
The four accused will return to court on September 23 to find out if there is sufficient evidence for the matter to be committed to the High Court.
The accused were arrested and charged by the police on June 6, following intense investigations and recommendations from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Allegedly, Greenaway died as a result of strangulation, and family reports say he had been severely beaten.
