    Canadian Diplomat's Teen Son Charged With Murder In Florida: Report

    Darpan News Desk, 15 Apr, 2015 12:21 PM
      MIAMI — U.S. media are reporting that a Canadian diplomat's teenage son accused of involvement in a drug-related shootout that killed his older brother in Florida has been charged with first-degree murder.
       
      The Miami Herald reports a grand jury has returned the indictment for 15-year-old Marc Wabafiyebazu.
       
      The newspaper reports that Wabafiyebazu, who was being held in juvenile detention, will now be moved to an adult jail to await trial.
       
      Wabafiyebazu's lawyer has said his client plans to plead not guilty to any charges in the case.
       
      Wabafiyebazu was arrested after the shooting deaths of his 17-year-old brother, Jean, and 17-year-old Joshua Wright.
       
      Police say the Wabafiyebazu brothers were involved in an alleged marijuana drug deal gone wrong.
