THE sentencing of the three men convicted last month for the murder of Assistant Commissioner of Police Gilbert Kameka has been rescheduled for November 9 in the Home Circuit Court.

The new date was set when the convicts appeared in court on Wednesday for sentencing. The rescheduling was as a result of incomplete social inquiry reports, coupled with the fact that the defence was served with critical documents on the morning the men were scheduled to be sentenced.

Twenty-eight-year-old Massinissa Adams, Kemar Dawkins, 20, and 23-year-old Rohan Townsend were convicted on September 15 for the November 29, 2007 shooting death of the assistant police commissioner.

Kameka, 48, was the highest-ranked member of the constabulary to be murdered in Jamaica. He was shot dead at a house in Irish Town, St Andrew, where he had gone to visit his then 18-year-old friend Tina-Gaye McGowan.

McGowan, who was implicated in the murder, was later given a three-year suspended sentence for orchestrating the senior cop’s robbery, in return for her testifying against the men.

Adams faces the death penalty as evidence was led that he was the trigger man in the murder which was committed during the furtherance of a robbery.
