The late Decorey Wright (Ernie) shared Flat G, Building #25, Seaga
Boulevard with his cousin Lancelot Bailey and his nephew Andre Bailey who
owned the flat. Ernie was mentally challenged. On 24 May 2010 Andre was not
at the flat and Mr. Bailey left the fourth floor apartment and went downstairs to
Mrs. Barbara’s apartment on the third floor. Other persons were at
Ms. Barbara’s. About 8.30 p.m. police officers went to Ms. Barbara’s home,
asked questions and searched. Mr. Bailey said that he had a bad headache and
wanted to go to his flat for medication. As soon as he got outside, he saw Ernie
in front of the flat. He gave him the keys and told him to fetch the medication.
Ernie did so. Mr. Bailey told him to return to the flat and stay there. Ernie went
to the flat while Mr. Bailey went back to Ms. Barbara’s.

the building running back towards Building #25, and using profanities”. He
heard them go into his flat and he heard “a lot of shooting coming from inside
my house”.

On 25 May about 6.30 a.m., while standing on Ms. Barbara’s
verandah, Mr. Bailey saw two soldiers coming from his flat with a body wrapped
in a sheet belonging to him. He said he knew that it was Ernie “since he was the
only person in the house”.

When Mr. Bailey returned to the flat two weeks later, he saw a

bathroom; there were bullet holes in the said rooms, teeth and bone marrow on
the floor as well as spent shells. The post mortem report on Ernie states that he
