One of the suspects in the kidnapping and murder of immigration officer Shane Gardiner and his girlfriend Tiska Braynen was granted bail after prosecutors conceded there was no evidence against him.
Prosecutors allege that Zintworn Duncombe, 26, of Fresh Creek, Andros, and four other men kidnapped and murdered the couple between November 24 and December 21, 2013, when their bodies were discovered in bushes by boar hunters.
They are also accused of conspiring to rob Gardiner and attempting to rob him.
Justice Indra Charles set Duncombe's bail at $20,000 with two sureties after prosecutors admitted that there was nothing to connect him to the murders.
Duncombe is charged along with Cordero Saunders, 24, of Central Andros; Daniel Coakley, 26, of Fresh Creek, Andros; James Johnson, 21, of Calabash Bay, and Terrel Mackey, 26, of Central Andros.
At the time of the murders, Duncombe was on bail on drug possession with intent to supply charges.
