NASSAU- The Court of Appeal has ruled that a man accused of the 2019 murder of Deon Brice should be freed on bail.
Shaquille Culmer successfully challenged a Supreme Court judge’s decision to refuse him bail on the murder charge.
He was granted $20,000 bail with two sureties on the condition that he wears an electronic monitoring device and keeps an 8pm to 6am curfew.
Culmer is also confined to New Providence pending his trial and has to report to a police station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
The Court said there was no evidence that Culmer would abscond. Additionally, Culmer has not yet received a trial and it’s not known when one will occur.
Brice was shot during a dispute on February 2, 2019 at Rosedale and Mackey Streets.
