A man yesterday admitted causing the death of a National Hero’s son.

Clinton Smith, 48, pleaded guilty to causing the death of 70-year-old Keith Gordon when he appeared in the Supreme Court yesterday.

However, Smith, of no known address, denied murdering Mr Gordon, whose lifeless body was found inside a home on Victoria Street on June 11, 2022.

Police launched a murder investigation into his death two weeks later.

Mr Gordon was the son of late labour and civil rights leader E.F. Gordon, a National Hero, and brother of former premier Dame Pamela Gordon and former Opposition leader Patricia Gordon-Pamplin.

Puisne Judge Juan Wolffe adjourned the case to November 12 and remanded Smith into custody until that time.

Also appearing at yesterday’s monthly arraignments was former Progressive Labour Party senator Curtis Richardson, 49, who denied causing the death of award-winning footballer Marco Warren by driving without due care and attention.

Mr Warren, 29, a three-times recipient of the Bermuda Football Association’s most valuable player award, was found unconscious at the junction of North Shore and Trinity Church Roads in Hamilton Parish on May 14, 2023 and was pronounced dead at King Edward VII Memorial Hospital.

Mr Justice Wolffe adjourned the case to December 27, when a trial date may be set, and extended Mr Richardson’s bail until that time.

Kentaro Bean, 19, pleaded not guilty to discharging a bullet, shooting at someone with a firearm and having the weapon and ammunition without a licence.

He allegedly committed the offences on May 2.

Mr Justice Wolffe adjourned the case to January 2 and extended Mr Bean’s bail until that time.

Melina Abanto Saldivar, 44, was silent yesterday when charged withcausing Carolina Orellana-Henriquez grievous bodily harm by driving while impaired by alcohol or a drug, injuring the same woman by drink-driving, failing to stop after the incident, and a driver’s licence-related offence, all of which allegedly occurred on October 24, 2023.

Mr Justice Wolffe took Ms Saldivar’s silence as not guilty pleas, adjourned the case until December 27 and extended her bail until that time.
