He is accused of stealing a motor car belonging to Arrelius Smith between the 12th and 17th October 2015 from Farm Road, St. Philip. This is part of the investigation of missing woman Marcelle Smith.

Four Roads, St Philip, lead prosecutor Station Sergeant Neville Watson said Ince was looking at a murder charge. The accused was remanded until Tuesday when he is expected in the District “C” Court.

Ince’s arrest had consumed Barbados after a body, believed to be that of the missing 75-year-old Smith of Farm Road, was taken from a ravine last weekend.
