Man freed in vagrant murder case

Devon Johnson

Devon Johnson, 24, who was charged with the murders of two vagrants, was yesterday freed of one of the charges after a city court ruled that the evidence against him was insufficient for him to face trial.

At the conclusion of the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the charge against Johnson over the murder of Andrew Benjamin, Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan concluded that the evidence provided was not enough.

The PI saw testimony from eight witnesses.
