Felix Turns Himself Into Police
posted (June 18, 2015)

Shooting victim Mark Gentle died in the first week of June – and since then police have been waiting to bring murder charges against Maurice Felix – but he's been on the run from police.

His brother was charged for Gentle's murder on June 9th – and this morning after nine days on the run, 30 year old Maurice turned himself in. His charge of attempted murder was upgraded to murder when he appeared before Senior Magistrate Sharon Fraser. Maurice is also charged with the attempted murder of Mark Gentle's mother, Pamela Cumberbatch. So Maurice now joins Emory on remand – and they are to return to court on September 8.

Last year, the brothers came off eight years on remand for a murder after three abortive trials for the murder of Mitchum Herredia.
