Police and prison officers packed a courtroom yesterday as two Pembroke men were charged with the murder of a golf caddy five years ago.

And The Royal Gazette has learned there has been some developments in another unsolved murder from around the same time.

Paco Talieph Fubler and Damion Wayne Smith were not required to plead to the charge of murdering Brian Earl Sherlock on or about May 20, 1994.

Ten Police and Prison Officers outnumbered spectators and defendants in the morning plea court session before Senior Magistrate Will Francis.

Fubler, 25, and Smith, 28, were both wearing HM Prisons orange remand uniforms.

Fubler, of Sunset View Road, will be tried in August with another man on a separate charge of stealing $2,700 worth of cash and goods from a man in March.

Crown counsel Peter Eccles asked that the men be brought back to Magistrates' Court on July 28 when Police are expected to have all the necessary paperwork in the indictment ready.

In November 1997 a Coroner's Inquest found Mr. Sherlock, 38, died as a result of head injuries inflicted by heavy blows, but refused to name who was responsible.

Mr. Sherlock, was found in a pool of blood in the Dundonald Street parking lot.

Just five months before, caddy Irving Dunlop, 49, was found dead in a church alley in Hamilton on December 21, 1993.

A Police spokesman said yesterday the case would be going before a Coroner "in the future''.

In September 1994 Police offered two $10,000 rewards for information leading to arrests and convictions in the murders.

A Police spokeswoman yesterday said the reward in the Sherlock case had been withdrawn because the arrests came through Police investigation.

However, Police will now review the offer of a reward in the Dunlop case.

"A decision is to be made whether the offer will be refloated again,'' she said. "We will have to revisit the investigation to find out whether or not we should offer it or not.''
