A Golden Grove man has admitted to attempting to kill two hotel workers during a 2023 shooting outside Carlisle Bay Resort and is now awaiting sentencing in the High Court.

Frederick Henry pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of attempted murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and shooting with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

Justice officials scheduled sentencing for July 21.

The charges stem from an incident on April 11, 2023, when two employees of the Old Road resort were shot as they left work at approximately 11:30 p.m.

According to court records, the victims, Dane Anthony and Morrisa Henry, were walking toward the property’s gate at the end of their shifts when they were targeted.

Anthony sustained at least two gunshot wounds, while Morrisa Henry suffered multiple gunshot injuries to her arms and side.

Despite his injuries, Anthony reportedly made his way back to the hotel lobby to seek assistance. Both victims were transported to hospital, treated for their injuries, and later discharged.

Henry has remained before the court as the matter progressed through the criminal justice system. His guilty plea brings the case to a close without the need for a trial.

The court is expected to consider the seriousness of the offences, the impact on the victims, and any mitigating factors before imposing sentence next month.
