Wallace being taken to prison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Dominican man accused of killing 36-year-old Christopher Smithers, a personal trainer in Antigua and Barbuda, has been formally charged with murder.<\/p>\n

Police in the twin island state named the suspect as 38-year-old Berle Adolphus Nathaniel Wallace Jr-a Dominican national who migrated to Antigua and now lives in Villa.<\/p>\n

According to reports, the men were involved in an altercation on St John\u2019s Street at approximately 6.23pm on Tuesday, during which Wallace Jr armed himself with a sharp object and stabbed Smithers.<\/p>\n

Smithers was then rushed to the Sir Lester Bird Medical Center (SLBMC) for emergency treatment, but succumbed to his injury and was pronounced dead at approximately 6.45 pm.<\/p>\n

Wallace who is from Wesley appeared before the court Friday and was placed on remand at Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons.<\/p>\n

His committal hearing is set for May 12, 2022.<\/p>\n
