Dobson For Murder
posted (May 4, 2012)
27 year-old Kenneth Dobson will stand trial for the murder of 22 year-old Erwin Staine.

A preliminary inquiry was held today and after prosecution finished tendering all the evidence against Dobson, Chief Magistrate Anne Marie Smith found that there is enough evidence for him to stand trial in the Supreme Court.

The evidence includes a crucial witness statement which details Staine's shooting, and Dobson's positive identification as the gunman.

He is currently on remand, and he will remain so until the case is heard.

On June 1, of 2011, Staine was standing on North Creek Street along with a friend, when two men rode up on bicycles and fired several shots at Staine, which fatally wounded him.
