Men face court in Bermuda for J'can's murder

The Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) has reported that two men appeared in the Magistrate's Court in Bermuda yesterday charged with the killing of a Jamaican barber.

Dead is 26-year-old James Lawes.

It is reported that David Jahwell Cox, 32, and Devon Rohn Hewey, 23, were accused of the premeditated murder of Lawes outside a Pembroke parish restaurant in March 2010.

The two were also charged with the attempted murder of another Jamaican, Maurice Martin, and Bermudian Robin Stovell, and using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

According to the report, Lawes' widow Greashena, a Bermudian hairdresser, who owns a beauty salon, sat in the courtroom crying during the proceedings.

She and her husband, known as Junior, had been married for just four months when he was shot. He died two days later from his injuries.

It is reported that the couple met when they worked together at another beauty salon.

They were together for two years before his death and were married in Jamaica.

She said her husband was talking to his friend Martin, and had been getting ready to cut his hair when they were caught in a hail of bullets.
