“In 2009, after receiving outstanding documents from the investigators, the ODPP ruled that the matter be referred to the Special Coroner's Court for it to be determined in an inquest whether any charges should be laid against any of the persons involved in the shooting incident which led to the deaths of Mr Winston Malcolm Sr and Mr Winston Malcolm Jr on the 21st day of December 2007.
On that day Mr Reid was placed before the Home Circuit Court.
She said that on July 30, 2019 her office “preferred a voluntary bill of indictment charging Malica Reid for two counts of murder pertaining to this matter in the Home Circuit Court”.
“Since then, Mr Reid's case has been before the Home Circuit Court for plea and case management hearings, as mandated by the court, so as to ensure that the file is complete and that the ODPP has satisfied its disclosure obligations to the defence,” she said.
Reid, the DPP said, is scheduled to stand trial in this matter on October 10, 2022 in the Home Circuit Court.
