MURDER accused Lakeraj Fredericks was yesterday remanded to prison by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow after a 12-member jury remained hung in its verdict, even after further deliberations.

A caution statement was admitted in evidence during the trial, in which Fredericks admitted shooting Clifton Bonus, called ‘Mutts’, in the head following a problem over marijuana.

The statement had Fredericks asking for help to bury Bonus, whose partly decomposed body was found with gunshot injuries to the head sometime in June, 2011.

The 36-year-old Linden resident was indicted for the murder of Clifton Bonus, called ‘Mutts’, on June 3, 2011. He pleaded not guilty and is being represented by attorneys-at-law Lawrence Harris and Hewley Griffith.
There were no eyewitnesses testifying in this matter.

Lawyer Siand Dhurjon prosecuted the case in association with Ms Shawnette Austin.
