McCartney murder suspect denied bail

Tue, Oct 21st 2014, 11:00 AM

Justice Bernard Turner on Monday denied bail for Lyndera Curry, one of the people accused of the murder of pharmacist Richard Kurt McCartney.
Curry, 21, of Plantol Street, is charged along with Sumya Ingraham, 26, also of Plantol Street; Thorne Edwards, 23, and Okell Farrington, 31, of Pinewood Gardens, with the October 24, 2013 armed robbery and murder of McCartney.
Prosecutors allege that while armed with a handgun, they robbed McCartney of his 2007 Hummer, which is valued at $37,000.
Sonia Timothy made the application on behalf of Curry, who is the mother of an 11-month-old child, who was born with a birth defect.
An anonymous witness alleges Curry was seen driving McCartney's Hummer from the scene. However, Timothy produced affidavits from Curry's family saying that she did not know how to drive.
Her relatives also provided an alibi, claiming she was at home watching the television show "Scandal" with them.
Kevin Farrington appeared for the Crown and opposed Curry's release pending trial.
