Black man sought for years in a series of violent crimes arrested in Trinidad and Tobago
  A man who was ordered to leave Canada 15 years ago after admitting to killing a person during a home invasion is now accused of sneaking back into the country at least twice to allegedly carry out thirteen similar robberies, including one that ended with another victim being killed in Laval almost a decade ago. Septimus Neverson, 52, was arrested last month in Port of Spain, the capital city of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, on a request from police in Montreal and Laval after a lengthy investigation by a joint task force connected him to a series of nine home invasions carried out in 2006, in the western part of the Montreal Island and Laval, that had left police puzzled and frustrated for years. At one point a $25,000 reward was offered for the suspect’s arrest. He is also alleged to have left Canada sometime after 2006 and then returned to carry out another four home invasions in Montreal during 2009. According to records held by Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board, Neverson, a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago, arrived in Canada in June 1985 as a visitor and then went on a crime spree that included the home invasion, on March 20, 1987, that resulted in the death of Jean-Guy Gauthier, a 35-year-old north end Montreal resident who was killed in his house on Legendre St. One charge includes the first-degree murder of Jacques Sénécal, a 61-year-old artist and teacher who was shot on July 20, 2006, during a robbery in his home in the Ste-Dorothée district of Laval. Neverson will also be charged with the attempted murder of Frank Dike Nwagbara, a businessman who was shot during a home invasion in LaSalle on July 16, 2006. The first home invasion Nevermore is alleged to have carried out was on May 4, 2006, in a home on a quiet crescent in Baie d’Urfé. In that case, Robert Chalabi and his wife, Debora, were forced at gunpoint to load their own car with valuables and then the robber ordered them to drive him around and withdraw their cash from ATMs. - (Canada) - (Black-on-white) |
