Police have released the two brothers who were being questioned about the beating to death last Sunday of 18-year-old robbery suspect Simeon Lawrence. It is now unclear whether anyone will be charged in connection with the teen’s demise.
The brothers, who are from South Ruimveldt, were taken into custody after police received reports that they and others had attacked the Rasville teen.
Police were told that Lawrence, called ‘Bub Bub’, along with two other youths, had robbed computer technician Marvin Lyte at gunpoint of $16,000, a cell phone and a computer.
According to reports, computer technician Marvin Lyte, of South Ruimveldt Gardens, was walking along David Rose Street at around 22:15hrs on Sunday when three men held him up at gunpoint.
The three men relieved Lyte of a laptop computer, a cell phone and personal documents before fleeing.
Lyte raised an alarm and a sibling and neighbours pursued the perpetrators. Two of the suspects managed to escape but the residents pursued Lawrence to Roxanne Burnham Gardens.
He was allegedly cornered in an alleyway where he was beaten to death.
Police eventually arrived and took the suspect’s mud-smeared body to the Georgetown Hospital.
They said that an empty .38 revolver was recovered from the slain man.
Simeon Lawrence is the brother of Travis Parks, whom a security guard shot dead two years ago in Tiger Bay.
