ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC):

The fifth suspect charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a British honeymooning couple was on Wednesday denied bail in the St John's Magistrate's Court.

Jeorgette Aaron, 31, was charged with being an accessory to murder after the fact, accessory to robbery after the fact and perverting the course of justice after she was linked to the two men charged with the murder. She appeared before Magistrate Keith Thom a day after making a brief court appearance on the matter.

"She was taken before the St John's Magistrate Court (Tuesday) and after arguments by the defence attorney for bail, the matter was put off," a police statement said.

"The defence and the prosecution put forward their cases to the magistrate and, in the end, Ms Aaron was refused bail and remanded in prison pending her trial."
