NASSAU| A 38-year-old man on Wednesday admitted to murder without a formal plea deal.
Cornell Cooper, 38, pleaded guilty to the June 28, 2024 murder of Heston Oniel Adderley, 45, when he appeared before Senior Justice Cheryl Grant-Thompson.
Adderley was fixing a motorcycle at Seven Hills, New Providence, when he was approached by Cooper, who slit his throat with a box cutter, Director of Public Prosecutions Cordell Frazier told the court.
A witness identified Cooper as the assailant, she said.
Cooper has been in custody since last June.
Defense lawyer Sonia Timothy-Knowles said that Cooper told her that Adderley was armed with a knife that he didn’t use.
