Mcpherson, Nicholas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A 19-year-old Fond Cole man has been charged with murder following the death of Brian McPherson of St. Aroment, Goodwill, \u00a0who was the ill-fated victim of a motor vehicle incident on the evening of February 27, 2022.<\/p>\n

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Belgrove Charles who heads the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), reported that following investigation by his department, Samuel Nicholas was charged with the murder of the 36-year-old security officer.<\/p>\n

Nicholas appeared before the Roseau Magistrate Court, today, March 8, 2022, where the charge of murder was read to him. He was not required to enter a plea since this is an indictable offense.<\/p>\n

According to ASP Charles, on the night of the incident, McPherson and his wife were en route to their home when they were struck by a passing pick-up truck registration number TP778 driven by Nicholas.<\/p>\n

The pair were transported to the Dominica China Friendship Hospital (DCFH) where McPherson succumbed to the injuries which he sustained.<\/p>\n

To date, his wife is still a patient at the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Chief of Police, gazetted Officers and a rank and file of the Commonwealth of Dominica Police Force (CDPF) I extend our deepest sympathy to the family of the deceased and all those affected by this incident. Also, I would like to wish God’s guidance on the family of the accused,\u201d ASP Charles stated.<\/p>\n

The accused is remanded in custody.<\/p>\n
