It is alleged that on the night of October 3, the two defendants boarded the couple’s yacht anchored off Union Island and inflicted chop wounds to their heads and faces.

On Friday, the two victims testified in the matter. Another prosecution witness was also called to the stand.

The teenagers were not legally represented.
