TWO young men charged with the 2001 murder of two residents of 100 Lane, Red Hills Road, St Andrew, were told to settle the matter of legal representation when they appeared in the Home Circuit Court on Wednesday.

Anthony Smith and Rohan Nelson are to return to court on January 12, 2007, where the case is again set for mention.

Both are charged with the pre-dawn murder of Icylin Vaughn, 51, and her common-law husband Melton Grey, 48, on August 31, 2001. Allegations are that the two - and four other men - invaded the couple's house, shooting them 11 times.
Vaughn's son, Lynval Thompson, who witnessed the incident, gave testimony in the trial of the four men - Omar Creary, Allan Beecher, Nigel Colder and Trevor Whyte - which resulted in their conviction.

Following the conviction, Thompson was shot and killed in morning traffic along Trafalgar Road in April 2005 while on his way to work in a taxi.

The couple was killed on the same morning that Vaughn was due in the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court in a case where some young men from the same road destroyed a section of her house with stones. Vaughn was branded an informer for reporting the matter, and was murdered shortly after.
