ST GEORGES, Grenada A Grenadian man, who walked into a police station here earlier this week carrying two severed human heads in a bucket, was today remanded to the Richmond Hill prison.

He faces two counts of murder.

The charges were formally read to the accused, Steve Gorrie, a 32-year-old machine operator, during a brief appearance in the Grenville Magistrates Court, in the east of the country.

They stem from an incident on Monday in which two men in their 30s former police officer Clyde Greenidge and Christopher Stafford, a farming aide were apparently beheaded.

The accused subsequently walked into a police station carrying the severed heads of the victims in a bucket and police say he calmly declared, I have two heads for all you.

The bizarre incident, which brought to five the number of people murdered here so far this year, has taken the entire country by surprise.

This morning scores of onlookers gathered outside the courtyard, some shouting insults while others expressed sympathy and concern for both the victims and the accused, as Gorrie made his brief appearance under heavy police protection.
