A detective constable testified on Thursday that Kevin Smith, the now deceased pastor of Pathways International Restoration Kingdom Ministries in Albion, St James, refused to speak to him on the night of October 17, 2021 when the clergyman was alleged to have killed a male member of his church and ordered another to cut the throat of 39-year-old Taneka Gardner, who was also a member of his flock.
The detective constable is the seventh witness to take the stand in the murder trial of Andre Ruddock,
who is accused of killing Gardner, allegedly on Pastor Smith’s command.
