D.P.P. Withdraws Attempted Murder Charge against Ulide Allen

Ulide Allen

Also in the court, the prosecution in the attempted murder trial of Ulide Allen, on instruction from the Director of Public Prosecutions, withdrew the charge against him before Magistrate Albert Hoare, last Friday.  Allen was accused of the 2019 attempted murder of Police Constable Leon Higinio when police intercepted them, presumably as he and an accomplice on a motorcycle were planning to carry out an armed robbery between Coney Drive and the Philip Goldson Highway.  The allegation was that when police ordered them to stop, Allen jumped off the motorcycle and pulled out a firearm and shot the officer.
