KINGSTON, Jamaica — A witness purporting to be a crime scene reconstruction expert, who has been contracted by the Independent Commission of Investigations (Indecom) since 2010, has admitted during the murder trial of six policemen in the Home Circuit Court in Kingston that he has no certification in the science of reconstructing crime scenes.

The six cops on trial are Sergeant Simroy Mott and Corporal Donovan Fullerton, along with constables Andrew Smith, Sheldon Richards, Orandy Rose, and Richard Lynch.

The six are being tried in relation to the January 12, 2013 shooting deaths of Matthew Lee, Ucliffe Dyer and Mark Allen who were killed in an alleged shootout with the police on Acadia Drive in Barbican St Andrew. Corporal Fullerton is also charged with making a false statement to Indecom.
