Magistrate Liverpool remanded the men to prison and the matter was adjourned to December 11th, 2020.
It was reported that London was in front of his friend’s house when two men walked up to them and riddled him with bullets.
According to a police report, on the day in question, London and his wife visited a friend earlier the evening he was executed. They were in front of the house sitting on a bench chatting.
During the course of the conversation, London’s wife left to purchase a barbecue meal. Around 18: 35hrs while she was away, two men walked up to London and his friend and pulled out handguns.
The men reportedly took aim and started firing shots. When London’s friend got up after the gunmen left, he saw London lying still on the ground.
London’s wife returned moments after and was greeted by the bloody sight. With the assistance of public-spirited citizens, London was picked up and rushed to the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, that was not the first attempt made on London’s life. Back in May, he was allegedly shot four times by one of his friends and another man over a motorcycle dispute, in the same area.
