PROSECUTOR Kathy-Ann Pyke on Tuesday indicated that she may request the court’s approval for the scene of the 2013 shooting deaths of three men on Acadia Drive in Barbican, St Andrew, to be physically revisited.

The trio — Matthew Lee, Ucliffe Dyer and Mark Allen — were killed during an alleged shoot-out with the police. A fourth man was said to have escaped and two illegal firearms seized.

Pyke went into the second day of her examination-in-chief of an officer of the Independent Commission of Investigations (Indecom) on Tuesday, during the Home Circuit Court murder trial of six cops in relation to the men’s death.

The Indecom officer, who played a lead investigative role in the case, was shown photographs of the scene and asked to indicate whether the scene of the incident was the same as depicted in the images. He positively identified the photographs to be a representation of the aftermath of the deadly scene from the January 12, 2013 incident.

Asked about the last time he visited the scene, he told the court he last did so on Saturday.

As she pointed the witness to the photographs on a screen, Pyke tested his memory of how the scene was set up and where certain buildings were located. She also asked the witness to say whether during his visit to the scene on Saturday there were any changes to the area. He indicated that there were changes, but said the layout of the street and the houses largely remain the same.

“The last time I went there was last weekend,” the witness said, indicating that he visited a premises at the corner of Acadia Drive and Evans Avenue where some parts of the shooting occurred.

He said that on Saturday he also visited the apartment complex where Agriculture Minister Floyd Green lived at the time of the incident. The minister, along with another individual who claimed to have seen aspects of the incident from the multi-storey apartment complex as it unfolded, were the only eyewitnesses in the long-running trial which began in January.

Pointing out changes to the scene which he noticed on Saturday, the witness said the walls to the premises across from the apartment where Green lived appear raised.

“The wall that was there is a bit higher and there is a lot more trees, palm trees, near the driveway there. The road looks the same; nothing has changed,” he said.

The witness said that a premises adjoining the apartment complex where Green lived also had changes to it when he visited on Saturday. He said a guard house was now at the location which was transformed into an apartment complex. He added that he also took a walk down Evans Avenue on Saturday, something he never did before, even on the day of the incident.

“There are no significant changes in the pictures to what the area looks like now,” he said, before pointing to a blue Mitsubishi Outlander motor vehicle in which the men were travelling before they were killed by the police.

On trial for murder are Sergeant Simroy Mott and Corporal Donovan Fullerton, along with constables Andrew Smith, Sheldon Richards, Orandy Rose, and Richard Lynch. Corporal Fullerton is also charged with making a false statement to Indecom.

Their attorneys are Hugh Wildman, John Jacobs and Althea Grant-Coppin. The judge presiding over the case is Justice Sonia Bertram-Linton.
