MAN CHARGED WITH MURDER DURING $50 ROBBERY

A 33-year-old faces a murder charge in the fatal shooting of a shopkeeper after robbing him of $50 on September 17.

Prosecutors say that Damian Forbes, of Sunlight Cottage, gunned down Wadeson Augustin during the armed robbery of God’s Grace Amos Convenience Store at Miami Street.

Forbes didn’t have a lawyer when he appeared before Deputy Chief Magistrate Andrew Forbes.

He was not required to enter pleas to charges of murder and armed robbery and was refused bail.

He returns to court on December 3.
