Lawyers in Bruce Greenaway murder case believe there is no case to answer

The three lawyers representing the four law enforcement officials accused of murdering Bruce Greenaway, will be joining forces to submit a written no case submission the Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel-Edwards.

Lawyer Andrew Okola appeared in the All Saints Magistrate’s Court today on behalf of his other two colleagues, Lawrence Daniels and Wendel Robinson.

Having just received the case file from the prosecution, the defense believes that there is little to know evidence to pin a charge of murder on their clients.

Thus the Magistrate gave them three weeks to file their submission and another three weeks thereafter was given to prosecution to respond.

On Februrary 24, the murder accused hear from the Magistrate, whether or not she will be upholding the submission and setting them free.

In June of this year, the police arrested and jointly charged 44 year-old Jason Modeste and 25 year-old Shakiel Thomas both of Swetes, along with 20yr-old Armal Warner of Pares and 20 year-old Aliyah Martin of Jennings for the alleged murder of Bruce Greenaway. 

Greenaway’s lifeless body was discovered near the shoreline of Indian Creek on April 13.

An autopsy later revealed that be was strangled. 

Attorney Lawrence Daniels represents Martin, while  O’kola represents Warner and Thomas, all of whom are defense force soldiers.

Police officer Modeste is represented by Robinson.
