‘Fabulous’ murder – DPP advises trio be charged jointly
Kacey Heyliger

ON Friday, three men appeared before Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan charged jointly for the murder of America Street ‘money-changer’ Shawn Nurse, known as ‘Fabulous’, who was gunned down in Georgetown in February this year.

The men, Kerwin DaSantos called ‘Buffy’ and George Hope called ‘Gregory,’ both 24 years old, along with 25-year-old Kacey Heyliger of Shell Road, Kitty, were charged jointly based upon the advice of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).

DaSantos and Hope were undergoing a Preliminary Inquiry (PI) for Nurse’s murder which commenced in April before Magistrate Judy Latchman. Two weeks ago Heyliger was charged after being on the run from the police.

The DPP advised that the single matters be withdrawn and the men be charged jointly and undergo a PI together.

The charge read that the trio on February 4 at America Street murdered 47-year-old Nurse during the course of a robbery.

They were not required to plead to the indictable charge and they were remanded to prison until June 8 when the matter will be recalled before Magistrate Judy Latchman.
On Sunday, February 4, Nurse was shot in the head after he refused to comply with the suspect’s demand that he turn over whatever cash he had on him. Reports state that after Nurse was shot to his face, the robber made good his escape.

The police were able to make the arrests after reviewing CCTV footage from surrounding buildings.

During last year, Nurse was robbed but was later able to identify two of the persons who had allegedly committed the offence.
