Court discontinues murder cases against Bayshore Park three
THE Crown yesterday entered a nolle prosequi order discontinuing the murder case against three men charged with the 2005 ‘reprisal’ killing of three residents of Bayshore Park, near Harbour View in eastern Kingston, because of the unavailability of the witnesses.
However, should the witness become available the case would be continued against the men – Dwayne Shaw, 29; Trevor Hunter, 42; and Aaron Christie, 38.
When the case came up in the Kingston Circuit Court yesterday, Justice Lloyd Hibbert said it was the third trial date in which the witnesses were unavailable.
The men were charged with the April 2005 murders of Ivenora Campbell, 47; her son Miguel Panton, 27; and friend Everton Brown, 42.
The police said the killings were in reprisal for the earlier murders of Bayshore Park residents Dayton “Scotchbrite” Williams and Rodney Farquarson, by then Matthews Lane area leader Donald “Zeeks” Phipps.
Williams and Farquarson were shot and their bodies burnt, then dumped in an open lot on Rose Lane, downtown Kingston. Zeeks was sentenced to life imprisonment for those murders.
