WITH THE POLICE unable to present concrete evidence to link a vendor to the murder of another man in the Montego Bay People's Arcade, the Resident Magistrate granted him bail on Monday when the case was mentioned in the Montego Bay RM Court.
Richard Henry, 40, who has been in custody since the September 30 on a charge of conspiracy to murder, was granted $250,000 bail after it was revealed that there were no additional evidence to support statements that Henry had made several death threats to the deceased.
On September 27, the deceased, Dwight Tummings, 37, a vendor, was shot dead at the People's Arcade on the Howard Cooke Boulevard, five days after Henry allegedly made threats that he had to kill him.
Henry was alleged to have said that Tummings had thrown 'obeah powder' on his wife causing her death.
The police, acting on information, arrested and charged Henry three days after the murder.
Henry, who returns to Court on November 21, is to surrender all travel documents and will have to report to the Freeport Police Station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
