Adams will be video-taped

The death house in Kraal, Clarendon.

Glenroy Sinclair, Staff Reporter

SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT of Police, Reneto Adams, will be under the microscope of the team of Scotland Yard investigators when he revisits the district of Kraal, Clarendon, on Wednesday.

"He will be videotaped while at the scene," a senior member of the Police Force told The Sunday Gleaner yesterday. "It is a matter of being transparent."

SSP Adams sought and obtained permission from Commissioner of Police, Francis Forbes, to revisit the scene. He told The Sunday Gleaner news team Friday night, that he was elated that permission was finally granted to him and his men to revisit Kraal.

He spoke of his own plans to video- tape the scene where two women were shot and killed by members of the now disbanded Crime Management Unit (CMU) which he headed. There are reports, however, that he might not get an opportunity to look inside the small room, where the persons were killed. Reports are that the owner of the premises who has the keys, left the district about two weeks ago and there is some uncertainty whether he can be reached.

Member of Parliament for North Central Clarendon, Pearnel Charles, who is overseeing the estate of the victims, said Mr. Adams and his team were unlikely to get permission from the owners to enter the house.

Contacted yesterday, Assistant Commissioner Osbourne Dyer, told The Sunday Gleaner that SSP Adams has until tomorrow afternoon to respond to a letter, granting him permission to revisit the scene, but under specific conditions outlined in the letter.

"He must respond through Assistant Commissioner Arthur Martin that he has agreed to the proposals spelt out in the letter," said ACP Dyer.

SSP Adams had written to the Commissioner two weeks ago, seeking permission to revisit the scene, where Angella Richards, 45, Lewena Thompson, 38, and two men 'Renegade' and 'Matthews' were killed in controversial circumstances by members of the CMU.

"There are certain factors and circumstances we would want to observe relating to the incident, which would enable us to properly conclude our statements," SSP Adams said last week.

In the meantime, ACP Dyer said the package of items to be shipped to a crime laboratory in the United Kingdom, will be sent off later this week.
