The prosecution is still preparing its case against a man accused in connection with the death of a teenage Guyanese law student who died on an Antigua roadway last May.

Victor Ince, 24, of Lightfoot West appeared before Chief Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel today, but the committal hearing was postponed to March 18 as the case file remains under review by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

Ince faces charges of forcible seizure and confinement, as well as unlawful killing, in relation to the May 7, 2025 death of 19-year-old Joyleen Abraham.

The University of Guyana student had been visiting the island to see a personal friend when the fatal incident occurred at Judges Estate. She was found unresponsive on a byroad connecting New Winthorpes Village to the Jabberwock main road and was pronounced dead at the scene by a medical doctor.

Authorities say Abraham had reportedly jumped from a vehicle Ince was allegedly driving. Police seized the vehicle for forensic analysis and subsequently charged Ince following their investigation.
