Accused Nightclub Rapist Committed to Stand Trial

Michael Flowers

Twenty-six-year-old Michael Llewellyn Flowers, accused of raping a seventeen-year-old female minor inside Eruption Nightclub in October 2022, will stand trial in the January session of the High Court.  That’s the decision handed down by a senior magistrate earlier today when Flowers appeared in Courtroom Number Three.  This morning, Corporal Edgar Poot submitted twenty-eight witness statements and eighteen documentary exhibits against Flowers, before closing the Crown’s case in the preliminary inquiry.  Flowers, who was unrepresented, was informed that based on the evidence presented by the prosecutor, she found that a prima facie [pronounced preema fa-shi] case had been made against him.  With that, he was committed to stand trial in mid-January of next year.  Bail which had been granted through the High Court was subsequently revoked and he was given a new bail of ten thousand dollars, plus two sureties of five thousand dollars which he was able to meet this evening.
