Former fugitive remanded on double murder charge

FREEPORT-Police have charged a former fugitive with a double murder that took place in 2017.

Kyas Alphonso Duncombe was featured on the country’s most-wanted list after a fatal shooting at Game Time Sports Lounge on February 1, 2017.

Following his arrest last week, Duncombe appeared before the Magistrate Charlton Smith charged with the murders of Joseph Bain, 27,and Stephon LaFrance, 25.

Duncombe, 22, of Bailey Town, Bimini, was not required to enter to plea to the charge.

Smith denied bail because he does not have the authority to consider bail for the offenses.

However, Smith advised Duncombe that his lawyers could seek bail in the Supreme Court.
