Youth on 4 murder charges appears in court

A 23-year-old man appeared before Chief Magistrate Sherman Mc Nicolls yesterday charged with four murders and one attempted murder which all took place earlier this year in the Morvant and Laventille areas.

Elton Davis, unemployed, of John Street Pelican Road Extension, Morvant, is charged with the February 9 murder of James La Rode at Pashley Street Laventille, the May 30 murders of Kirt Rosal and Julien De Gannes, both at Trou Macaque Road, Laventille, and the June 18 murder of Trevor Bermudez at Pelican Road Extension, Morvant. Davis is also charged with the February 9 attempted murder of Natalie Duncan. The victims were all reportedly shot.

The charges were laid indictably by Sgt McIntire of the Besson Street CID. Davis was reportedly arrested during a series of raids in the Morvant and Laventille districts. After reading the charges, Mc Nicolls asked the man if he had an attorney. Davis shook his head from side to side then replied, “Nah.” Mc Nicolls then informed the man that he would be remanded in custody until July 25 when he will re-appear in Court.
