Two men accused of murdering 28-year-old Evanson Walkin are set to face a Sufficiency Hearing on April 4, following their court appearance on Tuesday.
Archley Forbes, 22, and Jevano Otis Arthur, 21, both of Five Cays, were arrested during a multi-agency police operation in the early hours of February 13. The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force led the operation, resulting in the duo being taken into custody.
Forbes and Arthur were formally charged with Walkin’s murder and appeared before the Magistrate’s Court on February 18. The court denied bail, and both men have been remanded to HM Prison – Home of the Department of Correction and Rehabilitation until their next court date.
Following the arrests, the new Commissioner of Police issued a strong warning to criminals, stating that the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force will not rest until they are off the streets. He urged individuals involved in crime to turn away from criminal activities or face the consequences.
Authorities continue to encourage anyone with information related to the case to come forward as the investigation remains ongoing.
