The three men charged in the ‘reprisal’ killing of three Bayshore Park, Harbour View residents last year are to stand trial for murder on Monday, October 30 in the Supreme Court.

Dwayne Shaw, Trevor Hunter and Aaron Christie are charged with the April 2005 home-invasion murders of Ivenora Campbell, 47; her son Miguel Panton, 27; and friend Everton Brown, 42.

The police surmise that the killings are reprisal for the earlier murders of Bayshore Park residents Dayton ‘Scotchbrite’ Williams and Rodney Farquarson, by then Matthews Lane don, Donald ‘Zeeks’ Phipps.

Williams and Farquarson were shot and their bodies burnt then dumped in an open lot on Rose Lane, downtown Kingston. ‘Zeeks’ was recently sentenced to life imprisonment for those murders.

The triple-murder victims – and an eight-year-old injured in the shootings – are believed to be friends and/or relatives of the man who is said to have telephoned Farquarson asking him to leave his house shortly before he was killed.

When Christie appeared before Justice Kay Beckford in the Home Circuit Court recently, he was granted $500,000 bail and ordered to report to the Hunts Bay Police Station on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, between 8:00 am and 6:00 pm.

Christie was granted bail on the word of his attorney, Christopher Townsend, that witnesses could confirm that Christie was out of town during the killings. The other two are still in custody.
