Boulevard murder trial to resume after Christmas break

The 12-member jury at the Boulevard murder trial will continue to hear evidence from senior deputy director of public prosecutions Dirk Harrison when the trial resumes tomorrow in the Home Circuit Court.

Corporals Paul Edwards and Louie Lynch and Assistant Superintendent Victor Barrett on are trial in connection with the disappearance of 20-year-old Kemar Walters and 44-year-old Oliver Duncan from a plaza on December 23, 2004.

The men have not been seen since but the Crown’s main witness, who is a former policeman, has testified that Edwards told him that the men were shot and killed.

Barrett is accused of covering up the incident after a report was made to him.

The three policemen have given unsworn statements denying that they were involved in the incident.
