THE prosecution closed its case yesterday concerning two brothers accused of murdering a man in 2019.
Dwayne Lodimus, 29, and Anton Lodimus, 25, are accused of shooting and killing Elroy “Skully” Burrows, 40, of Podoleo Street, on March 19, 2019. The victim was buying a drink from a bar on Mackey Street when the gunmen allegedly approached and killed him.
Sonia Timothy Knowles and Tonique Lewis represent the accused. Uel Johnson and Perry McHardy are the prosecutors.
A court clerk read the arresting officer’s police report in court yesterday.
Allegedly, around 7.55am on April 8, 2019, Officer Maycock, while attached to the Carmichael Road Police Station, was told that murder suspects were spotted at Wendy’s at the Golden Gates Shopping Centre.
When the uniformed officer arrived at the scene, he reportedly saw a silver coloured Honda Accord Coupe, believed to be the getaway vehicle. He approached the car and told the driver, Anton Lodimus, to turn off the vehicle. He also told the driver and passenger, Dwayne Lodimus, to raise their hands and get out of the car.
The officer searched both accused but found nothing. He informed them that they were suspects in a recent murder and took them to the Carmichael Road Police Station.
Authorities allegedly took a firearm and an outfit matching the suspected shooter’s description from the defendants’ car.
