For a second time, Roberto Miggins and Quacy Benjamin have both been freed of a charge of murder owing to the state’s failure to present sufficient evidence against them.
On Thursday afternoon, Justice Brassington Reynolds discharged the duo, who were indicted for the 2016 murder of miner Hilary Smith at Port Kaituma, in the North West District.
Back in 2019, they were discharged for the murder of another miner—Brazilian national Mario Pozzer—the day before they were formally accused of killing Smith.
