THREE MEN, charged by police with the April 17 murders
of three persons in the
east Kingston community of Bayshore Park, will appear today in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court where they will answer to three counts
of murder and one count of wounding with intent.
The men are 37-year-old orange vendor, Aaron Alexander Christie, also known as 'Cartoon', 28-year-old labourer, Dwayne Shaw, aka 'Baboo', and 41-year-old mechanic Trevor Hunter who also goes by the nickname 'Stone Love'. All are from Bayshore Park.
ARREST DATE
Constable Doris Stewart of Operation Kingfish, told The Gleaner yesterday that the men were arrested on June 8 by a joint patrol that also included the Jamaica Defence Force, the Caribbean Search Centre and
the Elletson Road Central Intelligence Bureau (CIB).
Ms. Stewart said Shaw and Hunter were charged the
following week while Christie was charged on June 30.
TRIPLE MURDER
The triple murder took place on the morning of April 20 at a house on Everest Drive occupied by Ivenora Campbell, a 47-year-old higgler. She, along with her 27-year-old son, Miguel Panton and Everton Brown, 42, were shot and killed. Ms. Campbell's eight-year-old daughter was also shot but survived the attack.
The Bayshore murders came two days after two other residents of that community were murdered in west Kingston. Police found the charred bodies of Rodney Farqhuarson and Deighton Williams at an open lot in Rose Lane.
Police say the men were shot then their bodies burned.
Donald 'Zekes' Phipps, the Matthews Lane area leader, has been arrested and charged for the murders of Farqhuarson and Williams.
