The two men who were charged with the murder of six members of a family on Campbelton Road in Logwood, Hanover, in October 2015 were convicted in the Hanover Circuit Court yesterday.
Mikhail Campbell and Errol Clarke have been convicted for six counts of murder, four counts of assault occasioning grievous bodily harm, and one count of arson.
On Thursday, October 8, 2015, about 11:30 p.m., residents reportedly heard explosions, and shortly after, saw fire coming from a nine-bedroom board house.
The police were alerted, and the Lucea and Negril fire departments were summoned. After the cooling-down operations, the charred remains of all six persons were seen among the rubble. Four other occupants of the house received injuries and were treated at hospital.
Campbell and Clarke are set for sentencing in the Home Circuit Court on Friday, December 14.
