A 51-year-old man was charged yesterday with the premeditated murder of Marcus Gibbings more than a decade ago.

Cleveland Rogers appeared in Magistrates’ Court over the murder, which happened on or before October 25, 2006.

Mr Gibbings, 32, from Trinidad, was found stabbed to death at a Devonshire apartment on October 26, 2006.

Mr Rogers was not required to enter a plea, as the matter must be dealt with in Supreme Court.

Magistrate Khamisi Tokunbo remanded Mr Rogers into custody.

He will next appear at the arraignments session in Supreme Court on September 4.
