After weeks of psychiatric evaluation, twenty-four-year-old Devon Johnson has been deemed fit to stand trial for the murders of two vagrants.
When Johnson was arraigned for the murders of Andrew Benjamin and Raymond Samaroo, both of whom were killed on November 11th, 2019, a report was given to the court by police stating that Johnson was mentally ill and was, therefore, unfit to stand trial.
As a result Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan ordered Johnson to undergo psychiatric evaluation. At a follow-up hearing yesterday, the Police Prosecutor gave the Magistrate the report by the psychiatrist which stated that Johnson was fit to stand trial. She subsequently informed him and asked the prosecutor whether the case file was completed.
