The forensic investigations involved the processing of a number of vital pieces of evidence that were taken from the premises in Kraal, Clarendon, where the four persons two men and two women were shot and killed by members of the Reneto Adams-led Crime Management Unit (CMU).
Reports are that the forensic investigations are being conducted by Scotland Yard detectives, some of whom have since returned to the United Kingdom, while others are still here completing their task.
The controversial killing took place on May 7. Reports are that members of the disbanded CMU had gone to Kraal, based on information that a group of gunmen were at a residence in the district.
It is alleged that on the arrival of the police, the gunmen opened fire, a shoot-out later ensued and when the dust cleared four persons were dead. Residents dismissed the police reports that there was any shoot-out. They said all four were killed in cold blood.
Since the shooting, at least two persons have been arrested and charged by the police with the incident at Kraal.
