Nephew charged with Berbick's slaying
2006-11-03
A 20-year-old nephew of former heavyweight champion Trevor Berbick has been charged with killing him, police said Friday. Harold Berbick and an 18-year-old man from the same eastern region were charged late Thursday and were scheduled to appear in court Friday, constable Courtney Gibbs said. The body of Berbick, 51 was discovered in a church courtyard Oct. 28 in his home parish of Portland, about 80 miles east of the Jamaica capital, where his nephew and Kenton Gordon were detained earlier this week. Berbick was the last boxer to face Muhammad Ali in the ring and briefly held the WBC heavyweight title before losing it to Mike Tyson in 1986.
