Keith Clarke murder trial postponed
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The long-awaited Keith Clarke murder trial was further postponed today in the Home Circuit Court and is scheduled for mention on March 3.
The trial, which was slated to start this morning, was further delayed due to the illness of one of the accused, Private Arnold Henry, who is ill and was absent.
Henry along with Lance Corporals Greg Tinglin and Odel Buckley are to be tried for the May 2010 killing of Clarke at his Kirkland Heights, St Andrew, home during the hunt for then Tivoli Gardens strongman Christopher “Dudus” Coke.
The Jamaica Defence Force alleged that Clarke’s house was raided based on intelligence that Coke may have been hiding there.
An autopsy revealed that Clarke was shot more than 20 times.
