Two men who recently surrendered to police in relation to a shooting in Newtown which left one man dead has been charged with murder.
Jason Telemaque, 22 and Leon Ettienne, 27, both of Loubiere, appeared before Magistrate Asquith Riviere on Monday morning and the charge was read to them.
Riviere told the prosecution that the matter should be dealt with quickly and “with dispatch.”
The two men are accused of shooting to death Telford Kerry Ursan George, 27, of Stockfarm in what appears to be a drive-by shooting. The incident took place on July 4, 2018, at around 10:15 am, in Newtown.
They went on the run for a few days until they surrendered to the police with the assistance of MP for the Roseau South Constituency, Joshua Francis on July 10, 2018.
In court, the two did not enter a plea since the matter is an indictable offense.
The two men are being represented by Dawn Yearwood-Stewart.
They were remanded in custody and the matter will be heard again on November 29, 2018.
Hello and good afternoon my people. First I want to offer my condolence to the victim family for their lost. Regardless of what dispute you had with someone that don’t give you the right to take someone life. I hope when they are tried and if convicted then they must be incarcerated for twenty five years.
KILLING in broad day light they deserve life behind bars.
SO kill night time then?

There is no other side of any story which gives you the right to take another person’s life. Get out of the people’s online news page and got educate yourself. While you at it get some morals and build some character.
Who cares about the other…they shot a man till death…they need to be jailed for life! But of because of our rubbish justice system I’m sure they will be out at some point
DA man like to say they rather a man kill them than lash them… So there you have it
Even if there is another side to the story doesnt give them the right to pass bursting shots in broad daylight like that to kill an innocent person.
what is the other side of the story?
why was he shot and kiled?
Why dont you put your self forward as their defence lawyer!!
Good question, most dumbnicans not smart enough to ask questions like tha, all they thinking is alas…
I would like to know why the young scholar/Future prime minister was shot and killed…. Man doesn’t shoot random people for no reason 
It was a drive-by shooting, which is definitely a mischievous behavior; unfortunately, the victims could have been in the way of their gun bullets. Or else, how would they know that he was at that corner, to drive by and shoot at him. Nonetheless, whatever their reason–it is as wrong as the devil himself. They have to be severely punished.
Because he grazed them both with bullets.
understand the other side of the story
