They were charged for the murder of Kurlin “Cluck-Cluck” Felix but now two brothers will be home for Christmas. 18 year old Cassian Bennett and 19 year old Mark Vernon were freed this morning in magistrate’s court.
When they first appeared in court, their case was adjourned for January 15, 2008 – and they were to remain on remand until then. But minutes later, after the pair had already been escorted back to the Queen Street police Station they were brought back again to the Magistrate’s Court.
That’s when Magistrate Dorothy Flowers informed them that that she just got a letter from the DPP’S office informing her that the charge of murder was to be withdrawn against the two defendants. With that directive, the two men were told that they were free to go.
30 year old Kurlin Felix was gunned down on Central American Boulevard in broad daylight on Sunday, September 30th. He Was shot fives times after he fell into a drain. The gunman reportedly stood over Felix and fired several times at him.
