posted (January 4, 2019)
37 year-old Anthony Bennett, the man who has been charged for the May 2018 murder of Erbin Garrido, has been committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court.

He was taken before Senior Magistrate Aretha Ford today for a preliminary inquiry, and the prosecutor presented all the evidence against him. Senior Magistrate Ford received the file from the prosecutor and asked Bennett if he had any alibi witnesses that he intended to call in his defense. He said that he has none. After reviewing the file, Magistrate Ford told Bennett sent the case up to the Supreme Court for the April Session.

At around 8:00 on the night of May 29th, Garrido was gunned down in his house in the CET Site area. He was inside when a lone gunman arrived and shot him in the chest. The assailant stood outside and opened fire on him from a "London Bridge" which is at the entrance of his yard.
