KINGSTON, Jamaica – Ten defendants in the ongoing trial of the Klansman Gang were Thursday morning found not guilty of four murders committed between 2017 and 2018 in the old capital of Spanish Town. They however have not been set free by the judge as they remain before the court on other charges.

Alleged gang leader Andre ‘Blackman’ Bryan along with co-accused Jahzeel Blake, Andre Golding and Tareek James were declared not guilty of the 2017 murder of a bus driver in the Spanish Town bus park by Chief Justice Bryan Sykes.

Additionally, Golding and his co-accused Chevroy Evans and Marco Miller were declared not guilty of facilitating the murder of another bus driver known as “Tesha Bus driver” in the same park, also in 2017.

In the meantime, the accused Daniel McKenzie, Marco Miller, Dwight Hall, Pete Miller and Kemar Harrison were all declared not guilty in respect of a 2018 double murder involving “two unknown individuals in Spanish Town.”

The two now deceased men were said to be from Denham Town.
