Man charged with New Year’s Eve murder

A man has been charged with the murder of a teen on New Year’s Eve.

Police say Deno Francis, 23, of Fleming Street, fatally shot 18-year-old Hollis Aranha at Hospital Lane.

Francis was not required to enter a plea to the charge when he appeared before Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt today.

He’s been denied bail and is set to return to court in April to receive a voluntary bill of indictment that will take the case to the Supreme Court.
