November 23, 2007: A 15-year-old minor male
appeared in court for the second time on Wednesday, charged
with the stabbing death of a 16-year-old. The murder
occurred during J'ouvert in Tortola on August 6th, this
year. Authorities say a series of fights on that
morning, between two groups of young men, resulted in fatal
assaults on a 16 year old, Akimo Williams, who was
stabbed and an 18-year-old, Jeremy Wattley, who died of head
injuries.
The teen, who was arrested earlier this month and first
appeared in court on November 9, was remanded to prison and
a preliminary inquiry has been set for Jan. 21.
In addition to the murder he has been charged with grievous
bodily harm on a 17-year-old boy who suffered cuts on his
head after being hit by a bottle at around the same time. |
