Prosecutors in the trial for murder-accused police Constable Collis ‘Chucky’ Brown have said that they cannot confirm when their final witness will be available to take the stand.
They indicated last week that their two final witnesses would not be available until this week, bringing the trial to an early adjournment last Wednesday.
One of the prosecution’s two final witnesses, a forensic pathologist, testified today that Dwayne Douglas and Andrew Fearon sustained multiple gunshot wounds when they were gunned down along the Swansea main road in Clarendon on December 13, 2012.
He told the court that Douglas received three shots, while Fearon received five.
Both men sustained gunshot wounds to the head, which the witness said was their cause of death.
Brown, who has been in custody since 2014, is indicted on charges stemming from the 2009 murder of Robert 'Gutty' Dawkins, and the 2012 murders of Douglas and Fearon.
The police constable is facing three counts of murder, a count of wounding with intent and one count of conspiracy to commit murder.
