Cowan Heights Robbery Perpetrators in Court
Two people are facing charges of robbery after a brazen incident in Cowan Heights earlier this month. 27-year-old Amanda Murphy of St. John's and 25-year-old Julian Matthew Squires, whose address appears on court records as Her Majesty's Penitentiary, both appeared at court today after being accused of robbery with violence on January 18.
Police say the 18-year-old victim had placed an ad on a classified website to sell an item he owned. He and two friends agreed to meet a potential buyer at a location the buyer had suggested. When they got to the location, the seller and his friends were robbed of their possessions. Police say one of the suspects had a knife and the other had a club.
Murphy and Squires were arrested yesterday, and Murphy's family members made their best attempt to intimidate the media before being warned by Sheriff's Officers during her first court appearance today. Squires was already in custody, having been arrested on a breach last weekend. Murphy has an outstanding charge of theft from Globo shoes and is set to go to trial in March. She has been released from custody, and both she and Squires are due back in court on February 15.

Mom denies son had drug lab in home
A St. John's woman says her son was not operating a drug lab in her home, as police suspect.
Brian Moores, 43, was rushed to hospital from 20 Albany St. on Sept. 21, 2012. Police then evacuated dozens of houses in the area when they found material in the home that they described as "potentially explosive."
At the time, Albany Street was blocked off overnight as firefighters and police officers in hazardous material suits carefully removed boxes of evidence from the house.
Moores, who lived at the house with his parents, died in hospital several weeks later. His mother said her son died of diabetes, and that there was no drug lab in their home.
Police have not released a cause of death.
The RNC sent the evidence to a laboratory in Montreal for analysis. After receiving the results, police concluded the chemicals they found could be used to make a variety of drugs.
The RNC has not identified the chemicals, or what kind of drugs could have been manufactured.
In an email, the RNC said, "The results were inconclusive as to exactly what drug was being manufactured."
No charges have been laid in connection with the incident last fall.
