Prosecutors have closed their case at the trial of Police Constable Collis “Chucky” Brown, who is accused of being a member of the so-called Clarendon Police death squad.
Constable Brown is charged with three counts of murder, conspiracy to murder and wounding with intent.
The prosecutors closed their case after completing the testimony of a key witness.
The individual, an ex-convict turned State witness, insisted that he helped members of the death squad get information on members of the criminal underworld in Clarendon.
Under fire from the defence during cross examination about his involvement in criminal activities, the witness, who was a police informant, told the jury that the death squad was created due to rampant criminal activities in Clarendon in 2010.
He insisted that he was telling the truth that Constable Brown was a member of the squad.
He maintained that he supplied information to Constable Brown which led to the fatal shooting of Dwayne Douglas, otherwise called “Murderous,” one the three men the cop is accused of killing.
The other victims were identified as Andrew Fearon and Robert “Gutty” Dawkins.
Dawkins was killed in January 2009 while Douglas and Fearon were killed along the Swansea main road on December 13, 2012.
During the cross examination, the witness admitted that Douglas and Fearon were involved in the kidnapping and sexual assault of a woman in Manchester in December 2012.
The woman was the daughter of a Manchester businessman.
He testified that Constable Brown, was on the payroll of a drug don who was upset about the attack on the woman.
He earlier testified that Constable Brown was hired to kill Douglas.
The defence on Thursday afternoon requested time to make submissions to the judge before calling Constable Brown to respond to the allegations.
The jury was excused until Monday.
