(Jamaica Gleaner) A taxi operator today detailed how three policemen took Clarendon resi-dent Andrew Bisson into a board house, where he was shot and killed.
The taxi operator was testifying in the Home Circuit Court on day two of the murder trial of detective corporal Kevin Adams, district constable Howard Brown, and constable Carl Bucknor in the so-called Clarendon police death squad case.
He said that on September 5, 2011, a contingent of at least 18 police personnel descended on a garage where he and several other men were present.
The witness told the court that some of the cops wore long-sleeved shirts and ‘spangy’ jeans, while others were dressed in blue denim.
He said that three policemen entered a board house on the premises and removed at least eight men.
According to the witness, the men were taken to the verandah of a concrete house located on the same property.
He said it was there that Bisson was identified and subsequently taken back into the board house.
The witness testified that he heard Bisson declaring that his father was a policeman.
He said that was when one of the cops replied: “Nuh care who yuh daddy be, you a go dead.”
The witness said that a few moments later, he heard an explosion.
According to the witness, the cops then got out of the house and were about to take away the wounded Bisson when they asked whose car was parked in the driveway.
The witness said that he told the cops that the car belonged to him, after which they ordered him to remove it.
He further testified that the policemen, holding Bisson by his limbs, placed him in a police vehicle.
The taxi operator said the police then rounded up the other men in another police vehicle and drove off with them.
The witness was asked by prosecutor Caroline Hay to identify the policemen.
He said that he did not know them by their real names but could identify them by their aliases.
He named Adams as ‘Chucky’ Brown, Bucknor as ‘Addy’, and Brown as ‘Gaza Man’.
The trial continues today.
