Two brothers, Brian Hermanstyne and Elden Hermanstyne both of Red Crescent Road, Mackenzie, who were accused of pushing a boat captain, Elick Alexander, overboard back in November 2022, were found not guilty yesterday by High Court Judge Jo-Ann Barlow yesterday.
According to a police report, in November 2022, Alexander was allegedly pushed overboard at approximately 1 am on Saturday, about 40 feet off the Wismar shore in Linden.
Enquiries revealed that Alexander was on the Mackenzie shore awaiting passengers when a 25-year-old unemployed man of Amelia’s Ward, Mackenzie, and a 24-year-old unemployed man of Red Crescent Road, Mackenzie, boarded the boat for the Wismar shore.
