A 24-year-old man charged in connection with the death of a visiting Guyanese law student will learn next month whether his case proceeds to the High Court.
Victor Ince of Lightfoot West was due to appear before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel on Wednesday, but his committal proceedings have been rescheduled to 5 November.
Ince is accused of forcibly seizing and confining 19-year-old Joyleen Abraham, a University of Guyana law student who was visiting Antigua in May, before unlawfully killing her.
Abraham was found unresponsive on 7 May along a rural road linking New Winthorpes Village to the Jabberwock main road. She had reportedly travelled to the island to see a personal friend.
Investigators say the student allegedly jumped from a vehicle driven by Ince before being discovered. A doctor pronounced her dead at the scene.
Police impounded the vehicle for forensic examination and questioned Ince about the circumstances surrounding her death.
