Shalom Bailey.

A man from Donovans has been charged with the murder of Charlesworth Richards Jr.

Shalom Bailey, 24, is suspected of shooting and killing the 42-year-old Liberta resident in Ras Freeman on 21 June.

The victim’s twin brother Charlesworth Franklyn Richards, also known as “Twin”, “Junie” and “Boss”, has been missing since March 2017.

He is now feared to be dead.

The latest murder charge is the second to be handed down to Bailey this year.

In August he was jointly charged with the murder of Xavier Thomas.

The 20-year-old was killed during a drive-by shooting.

It has been a busy week for the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda.

They are currently hunting Delano Forbes, a suspect in the murder of Wilfred “Bongo” Williams.
