Two men from Jacmel, Anse La Raye have been charged with the murder of 47-year-old Julius Charles who died last month, several weeks after being shot.
The Royal Saint Lucia Police Force (RSLPF) said Kurtney Eunude and Zidane James appeared at the First District Court on Monday and were remanded to the Bordelais Correctional Facility.
Charles was shot on June 23, 2026. Police said officers attached to the Anse La Raye Police Station found him along Jacmel Road with gunshot wounds to his body.
He was transported to the Owen King European Hospital (OKEU) for medical treatment, and police subsequently arrested and charged Eunude and James with attempted murder.
However, Charles succumbed to his injuries on August 8. Following his death, Eunude and James were charged with murder.

Evidently, there are demons roaming on island without a real conscience. Such a small island to have such carnage. 238 square miles is literally a tiny dot on the map in comparison to other countries.
