Three in court for murder of taxi-driver

Three persons charged with the murder of Arima taxi-driver Anslem Regis, appeared yesterday before Arima Magistrate Gail Gonzales. The matter was adjourned to next Monday and the three were remanded in custody. The suspects were arrested last Wednesday, almost one hour after the murder of Regis. Darion Nicholas, 20, Chad Eastman 18, of Maloney Gardens, and Andrew Simpson, 25, of Mahabir Lands, Morvant, appeared stone-faced when the charges were read out in court. The charge was laid by Inspector Samuel Bullein of the Arima CID. Regis was killed last Wednesday while plying his taxi for hire. He was shot once in the chest and then thrown out of his car. The car was intercepted by officers of the Cunupia Police Station who arrested  suspects, seized a shotgun, one spent shell, and six live rounds of ammunition.
