NASSAU-A 20-year-old man has been officially charged with the country’s first murder of the year.
Roobens Elusme, of Market Street, is accused of the January 1 shooting death of Marco Meadows at Third Street, Coconut Grove.
Meadows, a former policeman, was killed in a drive-by shooting near his home.
Elsusme wasn’t required to enter a plea to the charge and was denied bail when he appeared before a magistrate on Monday.
Elusme told the magistrate that officers at the Central Detective Unit refused to take him to see a doctor after they beat him with a bat.Copyright © Bahamas Court News 2020. All rights reserved.
