A driver’s licence from a 2017 murder scene on Ripon Road in St Andrew which clued in sleuths to the identity of the man killed in that incident set the stage for a major tug-of-war between the defence and the prosecution in the ongoing trial of 25 alleged members of the so-called Tesha Miller faction of the Klansman Gang on Thursday.

On Thursday, a detective sergeant who was the lead investigator for the August 14, 2017 shooting on Ripon Road, just outside the infamous Palais Royal “guest house”, took the stand for the first time during the trial in the Home Circuit Division of the Supreme Court and created the link between the body taken from the scene and the one laying in the morgue.

A forensic scene of crime investigator who previously testified about the same incident had told the court that he had not been able to establish who the dead man was. According to the Crown, that man is Kevin Green and the accused Tesha Miller, Rolando Jermaine Hall, and Michael Wildman facilitated the commission of that murder.
