THE shocking murder case of 75-year-old pensioner Joyce Lewis who was found dead in her North Ruimveldt home with her hands tied, throat slit and underwear below her knees has been handed over to the High Court for trial.Junior Williams, also known as Kevin Alfred, was committed to face trial at the higher court, being committed by Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday.
Williams, was absent at his trial hearings because he would disrupt the court and hurl abusive slangs at the magistrate. On one occasion the prisoner even attempted to forcefully leave the stand and became violent in his attempt to do so. The magistrate kept her composure and proceeded with the matter after informing Williams that she would do so in his absence.
Williams was held and charged for the murder after he was linked to the crime scene by the Police fingerprint system.
