Two sus­pects are sched­uled to ap­pear in the San­gre Grande Mag­is­trate’s Court vir­tu­al­ly to­day, charged in the re­cent mur­der of Jim­my Thomas.

The sus­pects were charged yes­ter­day af­ter in­ves­ti­gat­ing of­fi­cers from the Arou­ca Homi­cide Bu­reau (Re­gion II) re­ceived in­struc­tions from the Di­rec­tor of Pub­lic Pros­e­cu­tions.

The sus­pects, aged 19 and 29, were tak­en in­to cus­tody sep­a­rate­ly last week and were re­port­ed­ly pos­i­tive­ly iden­ti­fied dur­ing iden­ti­fi­ca­tion pa­rades.

Thomas was shot dead out­side a bar at Boodoo Cir­cu­lar Road in San­gre Grande on May 25. He was lim­ing at the bar with a friend at the time of the in­ci­dent.

The friend left Thomas to go in­side and the two sus­pects were walk­ing by when they pre­tend­ed to en­ter the bar. How­ev­er, the two men then jumped Thomas.

Thomas put up a fight but one of the sus­pects drew a gun and shot him sev­er­al times. As he lay on the ground, one of the sus­pects then grabbed his gold chain and the sus­pects then fled on foot.
