McLEAN MURDER TRIAL: Accused closes case
Published:Tuesday | February 27, 2018 | 12:00 AM
Michael McLean, the man who is on trial for killing six members of a St Thomas family, including four children, today closed his case.
"That is the case for the defense," McLean's legal advisor Carlton Colman declared in the Home Circuit Court after consulting with the accused killer.
McLean is representing himself.
However, the trial was again adjourned early as Colman requested time to consult with McLean before making his closing arguments to the jury.
Closing arguments are scheduled for tomorrow.
McLean is on trial for killing his former girlfriend, Terry-Ann Mohammed, her son Jessie O'Gilvie, as well as her niece Patrice Martin-McCool and her children, Lloyd McCool, Jihad McCool and Sean Chin in St Thomas in February 2006.
Mohammed's badly burnt body was found in bushes in Needham Pen while the bodies of four of the remaining victims were found with their throats slashed in bushes near Prospect Beach.
The decomposing body of the sixth victim, 6-year-old Jihad McCool, was found in a shallow grave in St Mary one week later.
