A fourth man has been charged in connection with the skeletal remains found at Henley, St. John last month with other suspects reportedly also likely to be charged.
The latest murder accused, 43-year-old Jason Weekes of Moncrieffe, St. Phillip, appeared today at the District C Magistrate’s Court at Oistins, Christ Church.
He has been remanded to Dodds Prison.
Last month the major crimes unit of the Barbados Police Service arrested and charged 25-year-old Samir Wilfred and 61-year-old Ian Gittens with two counts of murder.
A third man, Lamar Waithe, was charged with possession of an unlicensed pistol and 14 rounds of ammunition.
The charges are in connection with the case where the police acting on a tip-off found two skulls in a bushy area at Henley On December 5th.
The remains were confirmed to be those of two adult males and are believed to be those of Junior “Pippy Yard” Taitt, and Randy “Sharkman” Brathwaite, both of Blades Hill, St Philip, who have been missing since June 2023.
The Suzuki Swift motor car in which they were traveling was found riddled with bullet holes at Farm Road, St. Philip but there was no sign of the two men.
It’s been speculated that the two were tortured and murdered in a reprisal killing.
