Man Charged for Killing Asot Micheal Remanded to Prison
Alexta Francis, aged 26, has been remanded to prison, in connection with the murder of St. Peter Member of Parliament Asot Michael, following an unusual early court session this morning.
Leon Symister, Francis’ attorney, refrained from making any statements after the hearing, which concluded prior to the court’s usual 9:00 am.
Micheal 54, was found at his residence in Dry Hill last week Tuesday.
He was found in the corridors of his home in a pool of blood. It appears that he was stabbed to death.
The subsequent court date is scheduled for February 5, during which committal proceedings will take place.
