Shaquille Grant was yesterday morning discharged of the 2017 murder of Sophia bread vendor Andre Melroy Alexander, after Justice Navindra Singh upheld a no-case submission made by his attorney.
Neville Forde, who was also charged with the capital offence is, however, likely to know his fate later this afternoon when a jury deliberates on the case levelled against him.
Last Friday, Grant’s attorney, Nigel Hughes, argued that his client had no case to answer, owing to what he described as a number of material inconsistencies presented against him by the prosecution’s key witness.
