Murder suspect jailed for bail violation

Dwayne Harris

NASSAU- A murder suspect has been sentenced to eight months in prison for violating his bail conditions.

Dwayne Harris Jr., 27, is accused of the 2016 murder of Government High School student Mizilana Beauchamp.

Ms. Beauchamp died after she was hit in the head with a rock while taking a bus to school.

Prosecutors say Harris and two other men hurled rocks at the bus after they had a dispute with the driver.

A judge required Harris to sign to at the Carmichael Road Police Station from Monday to Friday as a condition of bail.

Rather than asking the judge to relax his reporting condition, Harris took it upon himself to stop coming to the station on March 25.

Prosecutors allege that from March to July, Harris committed a spree of property crimes.

He’s accused of stealing, bumpers, headlights, grills, and car batteries during the crime spree.

However, Harris has denied this.
