After hearing from a number of prosecution witnesses, including State witness Toshiba Prescott, Chief Magistrate Churaman found that the prosecution had made out a case for Patrick and Small to answer before a Judge and jury.
Patrick and Small were among five young men originally accused of murder.
Williams, from the South Leeward village of Questelles was found in some grass on the morning of March 15, this year. The other three were Tosheba Prescott, 17, Marthie Baker, 24, and Winston Small, 20, of Penniston.
Prescottâs charge was withdrawn before the start of the preliminary inquiries as the Crown used him as its star witness. Baker and Small (Winston) were discharged at Mondayâs conclusion of the preliminary inquiries following submissions by their lawyers, Ronald Marks and Cecil âBlazerâ Williams.
