Ex-cop, taximan implicated in kidnap, rape bailed
THE ex-police constable and a taxi operator implicated in the abduction and rape of a Social Development Commission worker have each been granted bail ahead of their trial on June 13.
Andrew Campbell, a 27-year-old ex-cop and Errol Harris, 39, were each granted $350,000 bail when they appeared in the High Court Division of the Gun Court on Tuesday.
As part of their bail conditions, the men are to report daily to Grants Pen Police Station in St Andrew and must remain in their home between the hours of 6:00 pm and 6:00 am.
The men, who are represented by attorney Peter Champagnie, are to be tried for illegal possession of firearm, abduction, robbery, rape and wounding with intent.
The complainant was abducted by two armed men when she stopped her car at the intersection of Waterloo and West King’s House roads in St Andrew on September 25 of last year.
She was taken to a house along Omara Road in the parish where she was badly beaten, raped by a group of men and robbed.
The woman was rescued by passers-by along Lyndhurst Road where she was taken a few days later and shot during an attempt to escape her captors.
