2 brothers in court for murder

TWO Morvant brothers appeared before Chief Magistrate Sherman Mc Nicolls charged jointly for the murder of 22-year-old Andre Linsay. Akido Mayers, 23, URP labourer, of Pelican Road Extension, Morvant, appeared in court on Monday to have the charge read to him. His brother Nigel “Duffo” Mayers, 30, of the same address, appeared before Magis-trate Ejenny Espinet yesterday charged along with Miguel Roberts for the April 21 attempted murder of Eric Sampson at Matapal Street, Mor-vant. While in court, Sgt Dave Hilaire, of the Morvant CID, executed a warrant arresting Nigel Mayers for the murder. After Mc Nicolls read the charge, Nigel Mayers said, “Them police, they trying to jeopardise my freedom right now. That freedom is rightfully mine.” The man told Mc Nicolls that “Beckles” was his attorney but he was not in court at the moment. “The police hold me and I have no knowledge of that incident,” continued Mayers. With numerous gesticulations he added, “I not making no statement to the police, I making my statement to you now.” Mc Nicolls adjourned the matter to July 23 and asked the officers to take the brothers to a Justice of the Peace to record their statements. The attempted murder matter involving Mayers and Roberts was adjourned to today.
