A MAN was remanded to prison yesterday over his alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of Elvardo Munroe in Yellow Elder Gardens last month.

Police allege that Michael Adderley, 33, fatally stabbed Munroe, 21, during a physical confrontation around 5pm on October 30 on Graham Drive.

Munroe died in the hospital on November 7, becoming the nation’s 72nd homicide victim of the year.

His mother, Ireka Smith, told The Tribune earlier this month that she was frustrated by the delay in charges being brought. Ms Smith said she wanted justice and that her only child “didn’t deserve this”.

Adderley was not required to enter a plea to a murder charge before Senior Magistrate Kara Turnquest Deveaux.

He was told the matter would proceed to the Supreme Court by way of a voluntary bill of indictment (VBI). He was also informed of his right to apply for bail through the higher court.

Adderley was remanded to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services until service of his VBI on March 16, 2026.

Inspector K Wilkinson prosecuted.
