A 46-year-old man has ap­peared in court for the mur­der of re­tiree Lennox Williams and the at­tempt­ed mur­der of Lyn­don Gumbs.

Mar­lon Quashie, of D’Abadie, Ari­ma, was re­mand­ed in­to cus­tody af­ter ap­pear­ing vir­tu­al­ly be­fore Mas­ter Whit­ney Franklin yes­ter­day.

The charges stemmed from an in­ci­dent at Williams’ house at Cen­tral Street in Vista­bel­la, on Car­ni­val Sun­day (March 2).

Po­lice said Williams was stabbed in the ab­domen when he tried to quell a dis­tur­bance be­tween Gumbs and an­oth­er man.

Williams died while be­ing treat­ed at the San Fer­nan­do Gen­er­al Hos­pi­tal, while Gumbs was treat­ed and dis­charged. Quashie sur­ren­dered to the po­lice on March 3. —Sascha Wil­son
