Cops tight-lipped on Kraal results
published: Saturday | October 25, 2003

FORENSIC AND ballistics reports have now painted a clearer picture of what transpired at Kraal, Clarendon, in May when the four persons, two men and two women, were shot and killed in an alleged shoot-out with members of the now disbanded Crime Management Unit (CMU), Gleaner sources say.

There is now evidence to indicate at what range and where on the premises the victims were killed. Reports are that the Scotland Yard detectives have submitted a list of recommendations as to who should be charged.

It is understood that a special ballistics investigation was conducted to establish the origin of the two

guns police claimed were found at the scene. The local police are tight-lipped about the results.

When questioned about the allegations that guns were planted at the scene of the incident in Kraal, SSP Reneto Adams, former head of the CMU, said he had no comment.

It will be at least one more week before Kent Pantry Q.C., the Director of Public Prosecutions, receives the file into the controversial shooting. This, although Scotland Yard investigators and local detectives have completed their probe for sometime now.

Lucius Thomas, Deputy Commissioner of Police, told The Gleaner yesterday that he and other senior officers were reviewing the contents of the file.

Assistant Commissioner Osbourne Dyer, who spearheaded the investigations, declined to comment yesterday about the file or the process of the investigations.
