Former policeman and murder accused Lloyd Roberts was on Thursday (March 2) charged and remanded to prison for murder when he appeared in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
It is alleged that Roberts murdered Ryan Sergeant, the teen who was killed outside of the Rio night club in 2016.
The North Ruimveldt resident, who was unrepresented was not required to plead to the indictable charge.
According to police prosecutor Deniro Jones, the Police file was completed and 31 witnesses are set to testify in the hearing.
Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan said the matter will be called again on March 10 for fixture of the trial date.
The 19 year-old victim of Festival City, North Ruimveldt, Georgetown was shot once to his head and reportedly dumped outside the Woodlands Hospital, where he was subsequently died.
Roberts is currently on remand after being charged in January with the discovery of guns and ammunition during a police raid at a John Street, Campbellville home.
