Imam Yasin Abu Bakr has been charged with murder.
Abu Bakr and Brent "Big Brent" Miller were today ordered to be charged with the 1998 murder of Israel Sammy by Port of Spain Magistrate Nalini Singh.
Abu Bakr is said to be in custody at the Central Police Station, in Port of Spain.
Sammy was killed on May 20, 1998, when four masked men went to his home at Darra Street, Boissiere Village No 1, Maraval. The men pretended to be police officers and dragged Sammy to a nearby ravine and shot him twice in the head, killing him instantly.
Abu Bakr was implicated in a statement which Miller gave to the police.
Miller, of St Ann’s Road, St Ann’s, gave the statement to the police in 2003 when he was arrested for the murder of casino supervisor Jilla Bowen at Movie Towne on June 4, 2003.
