Ravi Francois, a 22-year-old block maker from Byera, has been granted bail in the sum of $30,000 after being charged with manslaughter in the death of Osborne Kenville Morris, 49, also of Byera.
Francois appeared before the Serious Offences Court on January 21, 2025, following his arrest the previous day. The charges stem from an incident on January 19, in which Francois allegedly inflicted multiple chop wounds on Morris, resulting in his death.
The court set strict bail conditions, including:
- Reporting weekly to the Georgetown Police Station.
- Surrendering all travel documents.
- A stop notice issued at all ports of entry.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that Morris died from multiple chop wounds. The case is scheduled for a Preliminary Inquiry on February 25, 2025.
The Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force has extended condolences to the family of Osborne Kenville Morris and
