Two men were arraigned in a magistrate's court yesterday in connection with the murder of Owen Hanna, who was shot dead near his home in the Redland Acres Subdivision Wednesday morning.
Hastings McQueen, 22, of Cowpen Road, was charged with Hanna's murder while Jhoven Davis, 24, of Sumner Street, was charged with abetment to murder and being an accessory after the fact of the murder.
Both men were arraigned before Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez in Court One in the South Street Magistrates Court Complex.
The pair arrived at the courthouse together, shackled at the hands and feet.
According to the court dockets, it is alleged that McQueen unlawfully caused Hanna's death.
McQueen was not required to enter a plea and was silent as Gomez read the charge against him. It is alleged that the day after the murder, Davis helped McQueen evade due process of the law even though he knew that McQueen allegedly committed murder.
Davis also was not required to enter a plea to the charges.

The men were remanded to Her Majesty's Prisons until December 7 when the matter is expected to proceed via a voluntary bill of indictment.
The men can apply to the Supreme Court for bail, Gomez said.
Police found Hanna's body lying outside an apartment building off Sumner Street shortly after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Police said he was shot to the upper body. Hanna, a fisherman and a father-of-seven, died at the scene.
Hanna's death was the 82nd murder for the year, police said.
