Two men appeared in Supreme Court today, denying the double murder of Haile Outerbridge and Rico Furbert.

Le-Veck Roberts, 21, and Christoph Duerr, 26, both pleaded not guilty two counts of premeditated murder and two counts of using a firearm to commit premeditated murder in connection to the killing of Mr Outerbridge and Mr Furbert, who were both fatally shot inside Belvin’s Variety Store on January 23, 2013.

Mr Roberts also denied attempting to murder another man, Zico Majors, in an incident on January 16, 2013, along with unlawfully discharging a firearm and using a firearm to commit the offence of attempted murder in connection to the same incident.

He further denied charges of taking a vehicle without consent on the same dates as the two shootings.

Mr Duerr, meanwhile, denied possessing two firearms and seven rounds of 9mm ammunition on January 28, 2013.

Both men remain remanded into custody, with the matter returning to the courts next month.

Also appearing during this morning’s arraignment session was Calin Maybury, 19, who denied causing the death of Melvin Smith and grievous bodily harm to Dawn Santucci-Smith by driving without due care and attention on August 2 this year. The charges relate to a traffic collision that occurred on Kindley Field Road, St George’s.

Mr Maybury was released on bail until the matter is mentioned again next month.

Steve Bryant Symonds, 59, meanwhile, refused to offer a plea to charges of causing grievous bodily harm to lawyer and OBA candidate Georgia Marshall, and depriving her of her liberty.

Defence lawyer Elizabeth Christopher said that the charges were different to those on which Mr Symonds was committed to the Supreme Court and the charges had not been disclosed.

The matter was adjourned until next month to be mentioned, with Mr Symonds remaining in custody.
