Spanish Town residents Dean Reid and Wayne Morris are to stand trial today for the April 2000 murder of Detective Sergeant Maurice Shirley of the Bureau of Special Investigation, and five other people.

Allegations against the two, who appeared in the Home Circuit Court on Monday, are that on April 14 2000 they shot Shirley and took his firearm after robbing a bar in Winters Pen, Spanish Town, where he was having a drink.

About two weeks later, the accused allegedly murdered five people - Edgar Halstead and his wife Sylvia; Evelyn Wee-Tom and daughter Fredericka Wee-Tom; and Cassandra Campbell - along March Pen Road, Spanish Town.

The two were arrested a month later in Trelawny and Shirley's gun allegedly recovered along with the gun that was allegedly used in the killing of the five.
