Bevan Alford is Remanded for Eight Miles Murder

Bevan Alford

Eighteen-year-old Bevan Curtis Alford was arraigned earlier today for the murder of Freddy Chicas whose decomposing body was retrieved a week ago from an area near the Eight Mile community.  Chicas, who was reported missing by his family a few days earlier, had been dispatched with a single round fired into his head.  Alfred appeared unrepresented before Acting Chief Magistrate Aretha Ford where he was read a single count.  A motive is yet to be ascertained for Chicas’ murder; likewise police are still trying to establish whether the victim and the alleged suspect were familiar to each other. The twenty-one-year-old was last seen alive on March fifth, around nine a.m., but it wasn’t until March ninth that police issue a missing person’s bulletin for Chicas.
