TWO men pleaded not guilty in the Supreme Court yesterday in connection with the 2016 murder of a man who was shot while at a traffic light on Robinson Road.

Giovanni Clarke, represented by Attorney Calvin Seymour, and Dekeil Bowe, represented by Attorney Ryszard Hummes, stood before Justice Guilimina Archer-Minns on charges of murder and attempted murder.

According to police reports it is alleged that on April 13, 2016, the accused shot 23-year-old Akeem Raheem Brennen and Ken Rolle while their car had stopped at a traffic light on Robinson Road. While Rolle survived his injuries, Brennen was pronounced dead in the parking lot of the Police Traffic Division the same night.

In court, both accused men pleaded not guilty to the charges against them.

Following the defendant’s official plea the jurors, who will hear their case, were also empaneled.

After Prosecutor Timothy Bailey announced witnesses who are due to testify in this matter, including the surviving victim and several officers, the Justice announced that the case would be adjourned for the prosecution’s opening address today.
