KEIRON Taylor, 21 years, of Charlestown was yesterday remanded to prison until October 1, after being charged over the gunning down of an Albouystown man last week.He appeared before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. Taylor, the court heard, worked at “Junior Pipe and Tanks”.

The accused was unrepresented in court yesterday when he was accused of the murder of 22-year-old Sanasie Lewis, who was shot execution-style on Friday, September 4, in Albouystown as he stood at the corner of James and Albouys streets, outside the Ghetto Flex Bar.

Taylor was not required to plead to the indictable charge. No facts were disclosed in the court yesterday but Police Prosecutor Deniro Jones informed that additional investigations were being carried out. He then requested additional time to allow for the complete file to be submitted to the court.

During the brief period that the young man was being grilled about his name, age and occupation, he seemed nervous, especially when the magistrate addressed him.

Taylor’s relatives were in the courtroom yesterday when the matter was called. When he was being escorted to the prisoners’ lockups, they shouted words of encouragement, even as some of them sought to insult media operatives who were rushing to photograph the accused.
Lewis was gunned down last week Friday by two gunmen who fled on foot and then joined a car to make good their escape. The suspects were later identified as brothers by eyewitnesses.

Three other men were injured during the shooting. Lewis, according to an autopsy, received fifteen bullets about his body.
