#TurksandCaicos, March 11, 2022 – Lewis Idi Iton is a free man as of Friday March 4; released from remand and the charge of murder in the decapitation case of Isaac ‘Mack B’ Missick in September 2021.

The sufficiency hearing resulted in a dismissal of charges against Iton.

Oliver Smith, QC, attorney for the suspect said the evidence presented did not even come within “smelling distance” of a conviction, and the Supreme Court Judge, Carlos Simons, QC agreed.

Smith outlined that an allegedly bloody fingerprint was not enough evidence to charge or convict Iton for the heinous crime, which happened in North Caicos; a case which shocked islanders to the core.

The matter was made worse, as Mack B’s head remains missing.

The evidence presented against Iton, a resident of North Caicos was called circumstantial, proving only that Iton was at the home of the deceased at an undefined time and there was no witness to the crime.

At the time Iton was arrested for the murder, he was described to our news organisation as being ‘mentally challenged’.

QC Smith also presented to the justice Simons, that his client never confessed to the crime and never gave Royal TCI Police any self-implicating statement.

Idi Iton on Saturday last week, headed  home to his overjoyed family in North Caicos.
