BULLET fragments retrieved from the bodies of two of the three Moruga friends have been tendered into evidence at the trial of the six police officers accused of killing the three in 2011.

The bullet fragments retrieved from Abigail Johnson’s upper right back, neck, right ribcage and abdominal cavity were tendered into evidence on Thursday, during the testimony of retired ACP Raymond Craig, who charged the six policemen.

On July 22, 2011, best friends Johnson, 20, of St Mary’s Village, Moruga, Alana Duncan, 27, of Duncan Village, San Fernando, and construction worker Kerron “Fingers” Eccles, 29, also of St Mary’s Village, were gunned down by police.

Six police officers – Sgt Khemraj Sahadeo and PCs Renaldo Reviero, Glenn Singh, Roger Nicholas, Safraz Juman, and Antonio Ramadin – are accused of murdering them.

A bullet fragment taken from Eccles’s back, along with a search warrant, a station diary extract, certificates of analysis, post-mortem reports of the three, their medical reports, other bullet fragments as well as a pistol, magazine and two rounds of nine-millimetre bullets were tendered during Craig’s testimony and shown to the jury.

Craig, who was assigned at the time to the Professional Standards Bureau of the police service, also said he interviewed Marvin Figaro and Andel Richards, both of whom allegedly witnessed the killings at the corner of Rochard Douglas Road and Gunness Trace in Barrackpore.

They were in a car with Shumba James, one of the main witnesses in the case, who prosecutors are alleging was the policemen’s main target, but had switched cars after he went to the Moruga police post to report as part of his bail conditions.

James and Figaro have already testified at the trial.

On Thursday, Craig testified to what he did in the weeks and months after the incident. He accompanied police to various locations, including the scene of the shooting and an area off the M2 Ring Road in Woodland. He also obtained search warrants for video recordings from an auto-parts business in Barrackpore where the shooting took place, as well as to search the homes of the six police officers.

Also accompanying the officers to some of the locations was WPC Nicole Clement.

Craig said on August 25, 2011, he; then-Cpl Michael Veronique; police draughtsman Gregory Hood; WP Cpl Ganesh and Valerie Hospedales, both police photographers; and PC Ramnarine went to Rochard Douglas Road with four civilians to “reconstruct” the incident.

He said he had three reasons for doing so.

“I wanted to be sure what took place that night; I had the statements from Marvin Figaro and Andel Richards; and I wanted to be fair to the accused in this matter.”

On October 25, 2011, he obtained search warrants to search the homes of the accused policemen and two days later, he co-ordinated search parties while searching Reviero’s home in Enterprise, Chaguanas.

The search warrants were for firearms and clothing but nothing was found.

On October 28, 2011, Craig and other officers went to a track off the M2 Ring Road in
