A SUPREME Court judge issued warrants of arrests for three men on bail who did not show up for their trial on two charges of attempted murder.

Andrew Burrows, Geraiceo Brown and Gavanthro Knowles, all on bail, were expected to appear before Justice Bernard Turner yesterday, each facing two counts of attempted murder and a single count of possession of firearm with intent to endanger life.

It is claimed that on September 8, 2010, the three men tried to murder Geovanni Joseph and Jeffrey Anestin.

It is further alleged they were tried to endanger Anestin’s life with a firearm.

The case, being prosecuted by Eucal Bonaby, was expected to get underway yesterday morning.

However, none of the defendants were present in court.

Justice Turner asked defence attorneys Terrel Butler, Calvin Seymour and Michael Hanna about the whereabouts of the accused men.

But as the lawyers could not explain the absence of their clients or track them down, the arrest warrants were issued.

Justice Turner ordered that the suretors of the three men be brought to court on October 5 to explain why the accused did not show up.
