Alleged Klansman gangster on trial shot dead
Defendant Andre Smith, the only accused in the trial of the Klansman gang who was out on bail, has been shot and killed.
OBSERVER ONLINE understands that Smith was on his way from work in Kingston on Wednesday when he was attacked by gunmen traveling on a motorcycle.
He was taken to hospital and succumbed to his injuries on Thursday.
Smith, also known as ‘Bolo’, was answering charges related to a 2017 double murder and membership of a criminal organisation.
He was among 28 alleged members of the notorious St Catherine-based gang before the court.
Five of the original 33 who had been on trial were freed due to insufficient evidence.
