KINGSTON, Jamaica — The case of the four men charged with the murder of Roderick ‘Bunny’ Francis, a high-profile player in the local fishing industry, was today taken off the trial list in the Home Circuit Court.
The matter was set to be tried today but the court was informed that some documents were still outstanding. As a result, the matter was taken out of the trial list and set for mention on October 29 for bail application.
The accused are, 42-year-old Carlos Batista of Allerdyce Drive, Kingston 8; 27-year-old George Gardner; Sheldon Watson, 36; and Newton Welsh, all of Kingston addresses.
Sixty-six-year-old Francis was shot dead by gunmen, pretending to have car trouble, outside his Queensway home in St Andrew in July 2011.
Francis’s death is believed to be a contract killing.
