A murder charge is to be read against Lawrence Wayne, called ‘Bai Bai,’ who is accused of fatally shooting a suspected bandit during a confrontation last August.
Wayne was called for yesterday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts yesterday but he was absent and the court subsequently learned that he is in Barbados. As a result, the charge was not read.
It is alleged that between August 23rd and August 24th, 2014, at Alberttown, Georgetown, Wayne murdered Dexter Lindo.
Lindo, a suspected bandit, was shot on August 23rd, last year after police said he was one of two armed bandits who entered the Wayne Beverage Paradise Stall at Merriman Mall, Bourda. “Upon seeing the men, the female owner ran and raised an alarm and a licensed firearm holder responded,” a police statement said. Lindo was subsequently shot and he succumbed to his injuries the following morning while receiving treatment at Dr. Balwant Singh Hospital.
