A homicide investigation in Micoud has taken a major turn after police formally charged a 35-year-old man in connection with the fatal stabbing of a fellow resident along Duke Street last week.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) attached to the Micoud Police Station has charged Jeremy Bicar with the murder of 44-year-old Lensley Samuel, whose death sent shockwaves through the community on Thursday, April 30, 2026.
