Anthony Thames, 28, who was charged with murdering a Boston man in the South End last August, will remain held without bail, despite a separate drugs case against him that was handled by disgraced chemist Annie Dookhan.
A man charged with murdering a Boston man on a South End street corner last summer appeared in court on Monday because a separate drugs charge against him was handled by the chemist responsible for the state drug lab scandal. However, his case was not touched by the judge.

A bouquet of red roses, a Pittsburgh Pirates baseball cap and a number of candles surrounded a tree near the center of Blackstone Square Monday afternoon, as more than 20 people were gathered to remember the 21-year-old Villa Victoria resident who was shot to death in the park the previous night. The items sat below a few bundles of black-and-yellow balloons, a big red heart-shaped balloon with the words, “I love you,” and messages and photographs of the deceased, which were posted to the tree. A man at the makeshift memorial said it was too soon to talk to the media Monday and asked for privacy at the site. A police cruiser was parked at the edge of the park on Shawmut Avenue. 'Humz' Police have not identified the victim. However, the …
