One of Lavard’s Suspected Killer Celebrates Birthday Before the Courts

The suspected killers of 17-year-old Lavard McKenzie were hauled before the Magistrates’ Court today to face charges of murder.

Twenty-year-old Franklyn Glinton and a 17-year-old juvenile were escorted to the court to face charges after Lavard was found dead in bushes off Carmichael Road on Sunday.

They could not enter a plea.

Franklyn celebrated his birthday in handcuffs and was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Corrections, while the juvenile was remanded to the Simpson Penn School.

The pair returns to court on December 15th.

The death of Lavard attracted public attention as the suspects are believed to friends of the victim.

A search party by the victims’ family discovered his body after canvassing the area where he was last seen after going missing last Thursday.
