Ms. Muirhead’s address is 12 Dee Cee Avenue. She recalled
25 May 2010 about 7.00 a.m. About 2 soldiers and 5 police officers came to her
house. She was downstairs with her son, Dwayne Watkis. Another son, Andre
was upstairs. He came down. The police officers enquired about Christopher
Coke. Ms. Muirhead denied knowing him and was accused of lying. Andre said
he knew Coke. The police officers took Dwayne and Andre outside.
Ms. Muirhead followed them. She saw her sons, Denton Dacres and one
‘Escobar’ lying face down on the sidewalk. She heard gunshots. A police officer
told a soldier to “send over one of them boys there” but the soldier refused.

Ms. Muirhead said she was crying and a policeman pointed a gun at
her and told her, “Woman, go inna yuh bloodcloth house”. She saw police
officers send her sons and Mr. Dacres “across the street where a truck was
parked with dead bodies”. She saw her sons standing by the truck.

Then Ms. Muirhead spoke of seeing Fabian and Fernando Grant:
“I saw when the police come out from Marjorie Williams
house on the other side of the road – about 25 yards away,
I see when they take out Marjorie two sons, Fernando and
Fabian Grant and bring them in the street. Then the police
ordered them to go next door to the neighbour’s house.
They went over there and I saw them go down on their
knees. A banana tree was in the yard and the little one
rested his head on a tyre. Police and soldiers were with
them in the yard. I saw a police with a short gun shoot.
The police kill the other Grant. The little one bawl out,
“Mummy!” The same policeman shot both Grants one after
the other. They shoot the smaller one first.”
