A 24-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy have been formally charged with the murder of a 33-year-old taxi driver. This case is among the serious crime statistics released by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for the month of November.

In addition to the murder charge, both suspects face charges of aggravated robbery as they allegedly attacked the victim, resulting in his death after allegedly punching and strangling him while stealing various items.
