March 3, 2007: Abraham Harrigan (77) the owner of Hide-Away Grocery in Little Dix, appeared before the Magistrates Court on Wednesday, May 2, charged with the  murder of Elaine Philips who was shot and killed on February 15. He was subsequently remanded into Her Majesty's Prison.

At the time of the murder, Harrigan had  reported to police that Philips was shot at the cash register in his store by two masked men, a claim that had caused much shock across the island. It now appears as if he had concocted the claim to disguise his own actions.

In what police are currently reporting as an unrelated incident, Bevan Harrigan was also arrested on April 30, for possession of a firearm without a license.  He also appeared before the Magistrates Court on Wednesday and was granted bail in the sum of EC $50,000 with two sureties to attend court on June 15.
