Catherine Pickering was shot in head & chest with AK-47 rifle- Court
This was revealed today, April 29, 2021, when the two men charged for the murder and robbery, Shameek Grant and Akeem Hopkinson of Zion Hill, appeared before Magistrate Christilyn Benjamin.
The two men have been jointly charged with Murder, Robbery, and Possession of a Firearm with Intent to Endanger Life.
According to Director of Public Prosecutions Tiffany R. Scatliffe-Esprit, the weapon used in the crime, based on the ammunition recovered at the scene, was an AK-47.
4 rounds of 7.62 ammunition, used for AK-47 assault rifles, were also allegedly found in the bedroom of Hopkinson.
Scatliffe-Esprit said Hopkinson, who was unrepresented in court, allegedly told police Mr Grant had given him the weapon but denied committing the robbery and murder.
The weapon has not yet been recovered.
The prosecution is relying on a number of CCTV footage allegedly showing Hopkinson and Grant in possession of the AK-47, being in the area of Paraquita Bay on the day of the robbery and shooting and being in possession of a bag of cash.
The men were not required to plead to the indictable offences and will return to court on May 27, 2021, for report.
No bail application was entertained by the Magistrate.
More details to follow.

But our Government vehemently resisted and objected to additional and better equipped surveillance offered at no cost by the UK.
Not a good look for the VI and its Government.
Clearly, you seem to be jealous of the people lifestyle for you to be on here talking sh*t
Go do something constructive and stop trolling.
It's to see what you look like! on here hiding behind a device.
Is that a lifestyle, your an @#%, where I come from women ,children and even the priest are not to be touched. Puta
All involved should be found guilty of murdering this woman, it doesn’t matter who pulled the trigger. The most guilty of all is the disgusting one who planned it all/gave the info. It shouldn’t matter that he wasn’t there, she is dead because of his actions
******* done snitching, he a crash dummy. Can’t handle that AK so it jump and spray the poor woman.
Chances are the people of the VI will be footing the bill for these pieces of doo doo.
***** ch*** mother hid it.. She does be terrorizing people with gun.
The police need to have a nice chat with **********. Her hands is on the gun. The lady that was killed blood is all over ********** mother hands.Yeah mommy hid the gun. The two females you see on camera with the gun give it to mommy to hide.
accessory to murder?
Could this be basis for a lawsuit by the victim 's family?
The VI must have known what the UK knew/suspected and what we all knew.
Why the over the top objection by our Gov leaves much doubt...
So these young boy who like to play make-pretend "gangster" already start trying to throw their fellow accomplices under the bus. WELL SAH, there really is no honor among thieves.
Lmaooooo, very true indeed. I'll make sure to take that into consideration next time.
The future for the VI is dim. It's luster continues to be tarnished.
If she so claim he was with her AND CAN ATTEST TO THAT, then lock her up too then. I guess she was part of the plot too since “she was with him.” They’ll definitely be together this time around though....... at Balsum ghut that is. That lil stupid criminal of hers is guilty as charged. NO EXCUSES!
