A man was charged in court yesterday with murdering his girlfriend’s two-year-old son.

Tion Morley was fatally beaten on August 16.

Sources tell The Bahama Journal that he was beaten with a frying pan.

On Thursday, Trevor Carey, 22, appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Joyann Ferguson-Pratt.

He was not required to enter a plea to the charge and was remanded to Her Majesty’s Prisons (HMP) until November 18 when his case will be fast tracked to the Supreme Court via a voluntary bill of indictment.

Morely was the country’s 70th homicide victim.

Carey did not have an attorney present.
