No link between Bacchas and police guns - expert
published: Friday | July 14, 2006

BALLISTICS EXPERT Daniel Wray said under cross-examination yesterday that he was not able to link the fragment from the body of 63-year-old taxi driver David Bacchas to any of the police guns he tested.

Wray was testifying at the trial of Woman Constable Bibzie Foster, Special Constable Metro McFarlane and constables Kevin Williams, Kadian Smith and Donald Thomas.

They are charged with the murder of Bacchas and 65-year-old newspaper vendor and chef, Cecil Brown, who were shot and killed in a motor car in Flankers on October 25, 2003.

Wray, who was being cross-examined by defence lawyer Carolyn Reid Cameron, said he analysed bullet fragments extracted from survivor Audrey Stephens and found that they were not linked to any police guns. He said it was pellets from a shotgun which caused the fractures to the front windshield of the motor car in which the two men were fatally shot.
