A woman and three men were today charged with the murder of Sophia man, Keon McPherson. The suspects, Nicholas Hercules called ‘Bucko’, Brenna Nurse, Devon Harry and Peter Lam appeared before Magistrate Alicia George in the Sparendaam Magistrates’ Court this morning and were not required to plea to the indictable charge.
McPherson was found dead in a yard in Sophia with gunshot wounds about his body last Sunday. There are reports that the 24 year-old man was involved in a triangular love affair with a woman from Sophia. After the Police wrapped up their investigation, the file was sent to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for legal advice and the DPP recommended that murder charges be laid against them. They were all remanded to prison and will make their next court appearance on September 17th.
