Swim coach on murder rap remanded

Wednesday, February 22, 2012



THE swimming coach who is accused of stabbing to death a University of Technology student last month, during a dispute over a woman, was again remanded into custody when he appeared in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.

Lornenzo Hall, who has been in custody since January 21, had his imprisonment lengthened to April 5 after the Court was informed that the post-mortem report was still outstanding.

The accused, who has not yet entered a plea, is charged with the death of Alex Brown, 21, of a St Ann address.

According to the police report, Brown went to visit a woman friend in the community of Elletson Flats in St Andrew. While there, Hall reportedly showed up and they got involved in an argument which led to Brown being stabbed in the chest with a knife.

Brown was rushed to the University Hospital of the West Indies where he died while being treated. Hall was subsequently arrested and charged.

He is being represented by attorney Keith Bishop.
