ASST. COMMISSIONER, Osbourne Dyer, says he is awaiting autopsy reports to help determine which guns were used in the controversial quadruple killings in Kraal, north central Clarendon, two weeks ago.
"The investigation is well under way. Several persons have been interviewed and statements recorded," the officer told The Gleaner yesterday.
Police Commissioner, Francis Forbes, has asked that the Government seek international assistance in the ballistics aspects of the investigation. The Gleaner understands that experts from Britain's Scotland Yard or the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the USA, are being considered.
Pearnel Charles, MP for the area, says he had information that the guns were planted by the police at the scene of the controversial killing.
According to the police, a 9mm pistol, one of two illegal guns which the Crime Management Unit said it found at the shooting scene in Kraal, has been traced to the United States.
The US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is working to ascertain for the Jamaican authorities, the original owner of the weapon. The police said ballistics experts are working to raise the serial number of the rifle which was the other weapon found at the scene.
On May 7, members of the CMU went to a house at Kraal where they said they came under gunfire from a group of persons who were on the premises.
During an exchange of gunfire four persons were shot dead and two guns seized. Senior Supt. Reneto Adams and other members of the CMU who were involved in the shooting have since been removed from frontline duty.
