A Sandys man this morning denied the double murder of Haile Outerbridge and Rico Furbert.

Mr Outerbridge, 34, and Mr Furbert, 25, both from Pembroke, were gunned down inside Belvin’s Variety store on Happy Valley Road on January 23 last year.

During an appearance in the Supreme Court this morning Christoph Donald Duerr, 26, pleaded not guilty to two counts of premeditated murder in connection to the shooting, along with two counts of using a firearm to commit an indictable offence.

Mr Duerr has been remanded into custody, and the matter is expected to return to the courts later this month.
