The lawyers representing Constable Andrew Wilson, the policeman charged with murder in connection with the killing of Latoya ‘Buju’ Bulgin, yesterday accused the prosecution of being disingenuous, saying that in a prior meeting, they had not indicated that they would oppose bail for their client.
Bulgin, a resident of Granville, in St James, was shot dead in her community on May 17 while participating in a protest, which was organised to object the killing of her 17-year-old cousin, who died a week earlier in an incident involving the police.
In response to the prosecution’s arguments opposing bail for Wilson before presiding Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton, attorney-at-law Michael Hemmings seemed surprised by the position that was taken.
