Two men who are accused of killing Samuel De Souza, a labourer who was found dead in front his house shortly after a confrontation earlier this month, were yesterday released on $400,000 bail after being charged with manslaughter.

Utoh Duke, 26, of Victory Valley, Wismar, Linden, and Orlando Montooth, 34, also of the same area, both appeared before Magistrate Wanda Fortune at the Linden Magistrate’s Court, where they were charged with manslaughter.

They were not required to plead to the charge and were released on $400,000 bail, and ordered to report to the Wismar Police Station twice every month.
