The main suspect in the September 7 shooting death of a teenager at Hospital Road, Castries has been officially arrested and charged by police.
The Police Public Relations Department said in a press statement today that Dave Joseph, also known as “Pirate” and “Bird Eye” of Bagatelle, Castries, has been slapped with the capital offence of murder.
He is accused of murdering Brandon Breedy,18, in his bed, between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.
