Nineteen-year-old Lenny Nerrius was arrested and charged for aiding and abetting in connection with the murder of Joseph Herman.
Herman was the victim a of deadly brawl in the Castries market on Dec. 31, 2015. He succumbed to injury on New Year’s Day, becoming the first recorded homicide for 2016.

The teen’s sister has described her brother as “a young boy who don’t normally look for trouble”.
Meanwhile, the spouse of the deceased, Jacky Norbert, remains unrelenting in their quest for justice.
“I just want justice for my boyfriend,” Norbert said.
