The man accused of the murder of Rudolph Gschloessl, the
operator of Cafe Aubergine, was released on bail Wednesday. Twenty-four year old Danesworth Boucher was released on $50,000 bond when he appeared before the Corporate Area Criminal Court. Senior Magistrate Judith Pusey offered him bail after the investigator told the court that he was not opposed to the accused getting bail. Mr. Boucher was charged last week following investigations into the mysterious murder of Mr. Gschloessl. Mr. Gschloessl, who was also the financial controller at King Alarm, was found dead at his Mona Heights residence in St. Andrew on October 25. His throat was slashed. Mr. Boucher who lived in the same house with the German national was charged after the cops determined that he was the killer. It is reported that on October 25, at about 1 am, the St. Andrew Central Police responded to a call of a murder at 8 Carnation Way in Mona Heights. The cops entered the house and found Mr. Gschloessl's nude body lying in a pool of blood with a knife wound to the neck. Mr. Boucher who called the cops told them that an intruder had entered the house and committed the murder. But the police became suspicious and following investigations he was charged. Mr. Boucher however maintained his stance Wednesday when he appeared in court. He is scheduled to return on December 16. |
