The police are having difficulty in locating all the exhibits that were removed from the house of Ambassador Peter King, who was fatally stabbed at his St Andrew residence in March 2006.

The disclosure was made Monday when the man charged with King's murder appeared in the Home Circuit Court.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Caroline Hay told the court that the superintendent who was in charge of the investigation was facing difficulty in getting all the exhibits.

Exhibits taken by police personnel

The court was also told that the exhibits were taken by different police personnel who were involved in the investigation.

Justice Donald McIntosh ordered Monday that all the exhibits must be made available by next week Monday when the case returns before the court.

Defence lawyers, Sylvester Morris and Berry Bryan, are particularly interested in getting a copy of a videotape that was taken from the house.

Some of the exhibits have been handed over by the police. Defence lawyers and the prosecutors will view those exhibits today at the DPP's office.

Sheldon Pusey, 23, labourer, of a Kingston address, is charged with King's murder. Pusey contends that he acted in self-defence when King made sexual advances at him.
