The Hamilton Spectator of Canada has reported that a suspect in the shooting death of Hamilton, Canada teen Brandon Musgrave was held in Guyana and flown back to Canada where he is expected to appear in court today.
According to the newspaper’s website, TheSpec.com, on Wednesday,
Joshua Warner, 22, was handed over to Hamilton police detectives in Guyana.
It said that under their escort, he was flown back to Canada yesterday and will appear in court to face charges. The police force here has not released any information on this case.
“There are no words to express how relieved we are,” Musgrave’s mother, Janet, was quoted as saying. “You just feel like there is a weight lifted off your shoulders.”
Musgrave, 18, was shot to death at a house party in March 2010, after an apparent dispute over what music was playing.
Hamilton police said Warner was initially arrested by police on April 8.
In cooperation with several international law agencies, including Interpol and the Venezuelan State Police, homicide detectives had been attempting to track Warner through South America and the Caribbean for more than a year, The Spec said.
Police believe Warner fled Hamilton for Venezuela shortly after the March 13 shooting. He is to face a second-degree murder charge.
