had ten gunshot wounds all over his body. Cause of death was multiple gunshot

FINDINGS
9.96.
Mr. Bailey was a thoroughly satisfactory and credible
witness. His evidence points to an extra-judicial killing.
Accordingly,
we find that it was highly probable that Mr. Decorey Wright (Ernie)
was executed by unidentified members of the security forces.
DSP Warren Turner said that, on the morning of 25 May, Maj. Kennedy
told him that there was a dead body in Building #26 “in Belgium” and
another at the bottom of Building #27. The body on the top floor of
Building #26 “had been neutralised by soldiers”. Maj. Kennedy denied
knowledge of this event and did not remember reporting such an
incident to DSP Turner – see also Chapter 10. It goes without saying
that Mr. Wright’s death should be investigated further.
