The case of two policemen charged with murder among other offences in the fatal shooting of three men in east Kingston last week was postponed to December 17, 2024 when it came up for mention in the Gun Court on Tuesday morning.

The hearing was postponed because the court was told that the defence had not received full disclosure of documents from the prosecution regarding their clients.

Corporal Mark Roye and Constable Kelby White were each charged earlier this week with three counts of murder; using firearm in the commission of a felony; discharging firearm within 40 yards of a public thoroughfare; and placing an item on the scene of a crime.

They are being represented by attorneys King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie and Althea Grant.

The cops reported that about 2:30am on Sunday, November 10, while on patrol they had encountered a group of men along Windward Road and, during the encounter, gunfire was exchanged, resulting in the death of three men. One of the cops sustained a non-life-threatening injury and two illegal firearms were reportedly recovered from the scene.

It was also initially reported that the now-deceased men were suspected to be involved in a robbery ring.

However, following a probe into the incident by the Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM), the cops were charged.
