The two men charged with the murder of two US missionaries in April last year, are to stand trial in the St Mary Circuit Court next month.

The accused men are Dwight Henry, 25, otherwise called ‘Dougie’ and ‘Chino’, of Wentworth, and Andre Thomas, 25, of Port Maria, both in St Mary.

The case was committed to circuit court following the hearing into the matter on Thursday (Feb. 16) in the St Mary Parish Court.

They are charged with the murders of US missionaries – Forty-eight-year-old Randy Hentzel, and 53-year-old Harold Nichols.

Senior Parish Judge Yvette Wentworth-Miller said that having reviewed the files and statements, a prima facie case can be made out against both men.
