Teen faces separate murder charge in Leopold St stabbing

A joint charge against three teenagers accused of stabbing a man to death at Leopold and Lombard Streets last month, was withdrawn and separate charges instituted.

Last month, John McKenzie, 19, was charged along with two 15-year-olds, for the murder of a man identified only as ‘Buckman’. It is alleged that on November 17th at Leopold and Lombard Streets, they murdered the man.

The joint charge was however, withdrawn, and McKenzie was charged separately for the offence at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court yesterday.
