Man awaits sentencing after admitting to killing Charlestown youth

Joshua Meredith, who shot and killed Charlestown youth Gregory Garraway during a robbery in 2016, is now awaiting sentencing after admitting to the killing.

Meredith had been charged with murdering Garraway in the course or furtherance of an October 2nd, 2016 robbery, at the “Wings and Things” Bar on Mandela Avenue, in George-town.

Appearing before Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown High Court yesterday, Meredith denied the capital offence and pleaded instead to the lesser offence of manslaughter.
