THE three police constables implicated in the March 2012 murder of 16-year-old schoolgirl Vanessa Kirkland were offered $500,000 bail each when they appeared in the Supreme Court on Monday.

The accused, Durvin Haye, Anna Kay Bailey and Andrewair Smith, who were all assigned to Mobile Reserve were arrested and charged in May with murder and wounding with intent following a recent ruling from the director of public prosecution.

The accused were offered bail by Justice Marjorie Cole-Smith following a bail application by their attorneys, on condition that they surrender their travel documents. A stop order was also put in place for the three.

Bailey was ordered to report to the Port Maria Police Station on Mondays and Saturdays, while the other two accused were ordered to report to the Greater Portmore Police Station on the same days as part of their bail condition.

They are scheduled to return to court on June 14.

Six other people were reportedly shot and injured in the incident.

According to the police, the incident began in Portmore, St Catherine where the robbery of a cell phone occurred during which the victim (of the robbery) was allegedly assaulted.

The perpetrators allegedly sped off in a blue Suzuki Swift motor car, with residents and the police giving chase.
