DPP recommends no charges against “Alpha Dan”

Linden taxi driver’s murder probe

The office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has recommended that no charges be laid against 22-year-old Delon Fraser, also known as “Alpha Dan”, who was accused of murdering 24-year-old Linden taxi driver Orlando Flatts, also known as “Orandy” or “Rango” of Blue Berry Hill, Wismar, Linden.
The incident occurred at approximately 00:30h on the morning of Friday, February 9 at Lot 74 Amelia’s Ward, Linden; when the deceased, allegedly whilst armed with a piece of metal, violently forced his way into the apartment of his ex-reputed wife and was stabbed once in the left region of his abdomen by Fraser whom the woman now shares a relationship.
Fraser, also a local music artiste, received injuries to his left elbow and left palm and was arrested in connection with the incident while the knife and a piece of metal (wheel spanner extension) were retrieved and lodged as evidence.
A Police official has confirmed that a file which was prepared and sent to the DPP for advice on the matter has since returned with the no charge recommendation.
A neighbour who resides in the lower flat of the home had recalled being awakened by a tumbling noise coming from the upper flat and seeing the accused with a bloody knife in his hand on the morning of the incident.
According to the woman, the suspect then stated that a thief had broken into his house and he stabbed him after a scuffle ensued. Flatts was laid to rest on February 16.
