Deon Lloyd after Boggy Peak altercation
A February court date has been set for the man charged in connection with the country’s first killing of the year that occurred at Boggy Peak.
Deon Lloyd, 42, of Lower Ottos, will return to court on February 9, 2026, for his committal hearing in the shooting death of 35-year-old Javorn Williams.
Williams was reportedly killed on January 2 during a confrontation. He was pronounced dead at the scene after being shot.
Lloyd appeared before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel last week, but the committal hearing was postponed.
Authorities arrested Lloyd while he was receiving medical treatment at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre following the incident. He had a cast on his arm when he made his first court appearance in January.
Lloyd remains in custody at His Majesty’s Prison.
Sad all around. Two lives ruined over what sounds like a senseless confrontation.
Justice needs to take its course. Hoping the family of the victim gets some closure.
ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT????
At least there’s finally a court date. Families need closure
Self defence is not murder. It will continue to postponded until it is squashed
Boggy Peak used to be such a peaceful area. It’s scary how violence can erupt anywhere now
February feels far away hope the family can finally get some peace when the case moves forward
his was one of those stories that shook the whole community. Gone too soon.
The man was even in the hospital when they arrested him… wild story.
He looked calm when he first appeared in court. Wonder what really happened that day.
Let’s hope the system does its job properly this time
Court backlogs again? Our system really needs some fixing.
My cousin was defending himself. He could have died. He would have died. He will be free. He should be free. Nobody come to kill you and you just stand up there
