After seven months of challenging his extradition, a 52-year-old national was ordered to be sent to Canada by Chief Magistrate Marcia Ayers-Caesar on Tuesday. Septimus Neverson faces 54 charges including murder, home invasion and kidnapping.
Neverson, also known as Christopher David Munroe, Richard Murphy and Septimus Samuel, is wanted for murdering 61-year-old teacher Jacques Senecal, who was shot dead during a home invasion on July 20, 2006, at his Ste Dorothee home; attempting to murder businessman Frank Dike Nwagbara during a home invasion at his La Salle home on July 16, 2006; two other counts of attempted murder; four counts of kidnapping; six counts of attempted robbery; 13 counts of breaking and entering a dwelling house for unlawful purposes; and 27 counts of robbery.
The offences are alleged to have occurred over the period May 4 to July 20, 2006. Neverson was deported from Canada in 2010 after spending 14 years in jail for a March 20, 1987, murder. Neverson spent 11 of the 14 years facing three trials. On the final trial in 1998, he pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to three years in jail.
Neverson was arrested on February 25, at Prince Street, Port-of-Spain, while walking along the roadway. There was a Canadian $25,000 reward for his recapture.
