Jurors shown photos of truck in which Lyns were found

JURORS were yesterday shown pictures of the disabled pick-up truck at the Martin’s Hill dump in which the decomposed bodies of Mandeville couple Julia and Richard Lyn were found in December 2006.

Detective Sergeant Donavon Larmond, who is assigned to the constabulary’s Area Three Scenes of Crime, had testified in the Home Circuit Court on Thursday that the bodies were bound at the hands and feet with pieces of ropes and covered in debris.

Jurors were also shown photographs of the Lyns’ ransacked home at Ingleside in Manchester. Pictures with what appear to be blood stains at the home were also shown to the jurors.

Yesterday, a police officer testified that photographs were taken of a foot impression left in the Lyns’ home by their killers.

Impressions of the right shoe print taken from accused Lennox Swaby and Calvin Powell were made after the men’s arrest, the court was told.

The couple went missing between December 9 and 10, 2006 and their bodies found in the dump, just outside of Mandeville, on December 30 that year. Several items of furniture and appliances were missing from their home, along with two motor vehicles.

The accused were allegedly seen driving around in one of the vehicles, a Toyota RAV4.

The accused are being represented by Dr Randolph Williams, William Hines and Robert Armstrong.

The trial continues on Monday.
