Dwayne’s bed sheet. One of his feet was protruding from under the sheet. Ms.
McCarthy recognised a beige crepe sole shoe and gray pants as Dwayne’s.
When she eventually returned to her dwelling about 7.00 p.m., Ms. McCarthy
found Dwayne’s room ransacked, a pool of blood at the entrance to the room
and a tooth on the bed. The post mortem report on Andre Smith records that he
sustained two gunshot wounds – one in the abdomen, the other to his right
forearm continuing into his chest. Dwayne Edwards’ body has not been
identified.

Mr. Edwards observed police officers taking Dwayne and Andre
upstairs Building #22. He “heard a barrage of shots coming from the second
and third floors” of the building and saw the police officers come back
downstairs. He said in evidence that when the officers came back downstairs,
they said words to the effect: “You think we are fools. You think you can hide

foot of a person was protruding from beneath the sheets.
