Two cops charged in relation to killing of three men in East Kingston

The two policemen who were detained last week in connection with the controversial killing of three men along Windward Road in East Kingston, over a week ago, have been charged.
 
The policemen were charged on the weekend following a ruling by the Director Public Prosecutions.
 
Corporal Mark Roye and Constable Kelby White have been charged with three counts of murder, using a firearm in the commission of a felony, and discharging a firearm within 40 yards of a public thoroughfare.
 
They have also been charged with placing an item on the scene of a crime and willfully lying to the Commissioner of Police.
 
The Independent Commission of Investigations launched a probe into the matter after questions were raised about the fatal shooting of 17 year-old Oshane Stubbs, Orando Campbell, 19, and 20 year-old Kayshawn Smith on November 10 along Windward Road, East Kingston.
 
The cops said at the time that two illegal guns were seized, reportedly in a confrontation with the men about two o'clock in the morning.
 
The policemen are being represented by attorney-at-law Peter Champagnie, KC.
