A GOVERNMENT ballistics expert testified yesterday that two of four firearms recovered at the crime scene in Braeton four years ago were linked to three murders.
Retired Assistant Commissioner of Police Daniel Wray made the disclosure in the Home Circuit Court under cross-examination from defence lawyer Carolyn Reid.
He was testifying at the trial of six policemen charged with the murder of seven men who were shot and killed in a house at Lot 1088 Fifth Seal Way, Braeton, St. Catherine, on March
14, 2001.
ONE GUN POLICE-ISSUED
Mr. Wray said he received four firearms on March 14, 2001 and conducted tests on them. One, he said, was a 'police-issued' .38 special Smith and Wesson model revolver and the others: a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver with an erased serial number, a .38 special Ruger six-speed revolver, and a home made shotgun.
He said all were in good condition and capable of discharging bullets.
The firearms were tendered into evidence by the defence during the first week of the trial and shown to Wray yesterday for positive identification.
The 'police-issued' firearm was the service revolver of Constable Dwight Gibson, who was gunned down at the Above Rocks Police Station on March 1, 2001. Retired customs officer, Derrick Betton, was also killed that day while entering the station.
KILLED BY RUGER
Both were gunned down with the same .38 special Ruger revolver, Wray testified.
Another firearm, he said, was used to kill Keith Morris, principal of the Hartlands All-Age School, on the night of March 13, 2001.
Cross-examined further, Wray said that he received bullets and fragments of bullets which he tested. He said he carried out tests and made comparisons and found that some of the .38 bullet holes in windows and curtains at the house in Braeton were fired from three of the four firearms recovered from the house.
