Captain Kevin Price, 40; Chief Mate Rondell Dwayne Roberts, 42; and Transport and Harbours Department loading official Delon Granderson, 33, appeared before Chief Magistrate Judy Latchman at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, July 28. The charges were formally read, but the men were not required to enter pleas because the alleged offences are indictable. CAPTAIN SPEAKS OUT AT COURTHOUSEPrice became emotional while being escorted into court and questioned why he was facing murder charges. The captain claimed the vessel had several longstanding problems, including the absence of radar and a search-and-rescue transponder. “The primary person who will have to talk is the captain of the vessel,” Todd said, arguing that Price would be a central witness before the inquiry.
