The charge arises from ongoing investigations into the death of Infante, who was allegedly murdered on Saturday, May 10, 2026, at Forshaw Street, Alberttown. Investigators allege that Callender attempted to obstruct the course of justice by falsely implicating himself in the matter, purportedly in a deliberate effort to assume responsibility on behalf of a wanted individual connected to the murder investigation.
