Soldiers in Keith Clarke murder for trial next March
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) soldiers accused in the shooting death of accountant Keith Clarke are to be tried on March 31 next year. The date was set when the three appeared in the Home Circuit court Friday morning.
Clarke was shot and killed in May 2010 at his Kirkland Heights, St Andrew, home during a search for convicted drug kingpin Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.
Lance corporals Greg Tingling and Odel Buckley and private Arnold Henry are charged with Clarke’s murder.
Post-mortem reports say that the 63-year-old Clarke was shot 20 times, with the majority of the wounds located on his back.
