Three men freed after 10 years awaiting trial for cop’s murder

Three men, including a police constable, who have been in custody for over 10 years awaiting trial for the murder of a police corporal, were freed in the Home Circuit Court on Monday morning.

Police Constable Gladstone Williams, Rohan Smith and Jessie ‘Pops’ Anderson were in custody on charges of murder, conspiracy to murder, solicitation to murder, illegal possession of firearm, and shooting with intent in connection with the 2016 murder of Corporal Judith Williams.

However, when the matter was called up on Monday morning, the prosecutor informed that the Director of Public Prosecutions has entered a nolle prosequi discontinuing the case and will resume the matter if witnesses are found.
