A TEARFUL Monica Detting took to the witness stand on Thursday to give evidence in the Preliminary Inquiry into the murder of her son, America Street ‘money-changer’, Shawn Nurse.

Better known as ‘Fabulous’, Nurse was gunned down early one Sunday morning in February on the very America Street on which he did business.

The PI is being conducted by Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman and indicted are Kerwin DaSantos, called ‘Buffy’; and George Hope, called ‘Gregory’, both 24; along with 25-year-old Kacey Heyliger of Shell Road, Kitty.

Also testifying was Nurse’s aunt, Debra Straker, and Police Detective Terry Cummings.
The matter has been adjourned until July 24 for continuation, and is being prosecuted by Corporal Shawn Gonsalves.

It is alleged that the trio, on February 4, 2018, at America Street murdered 47-year-old Nurse during the course of a robbery.

Nurse was reportedly 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 shooting Nurse in the face, his assailant made good his escape.
The police were, however, able to make the arrests after reviewing CCTV footage from surrounding buildings.

During last year, Nurse was reportedly robbed many times, but was later able to identify two of the persons who had allegedly committed the one before he died.
