KINGSTON (Observer): LENBURGH McDonald, one of the two men charged for murder along with entertainer Vybz Kartel, was on Thursday freed of a separate charge of murder in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate's Court.
McDonald and his co-accused Raymond Wilson was freed following an application by attorney Michael Deans during a preliminary enquiry.
The court agreed with Deans and threw out the case on the grounds that the Crown did not have sufficient information on which the men could be tried in the Home Circuit Court.
McDonald and Wilson were charged with the April 28, 2010 shooting murder of Castell Parks in Havendale, St Andrew.
The main witness told the preliminary enquiry last week that he had made a mistake when he pointed out McDonald to the police. He said he informed the police the following day about his error.
McDonald and Nigel Thompson are charged with Kartel for the July 2011 murder of Barrington 'Bossie' Bryan. Bryan was shot dead while standing among a group of persons in Gregory Park, St Catherine.
The men are to next appear in the Home Circuit Court on that charge on June 29 when it will be determined if McDonald and Thompson will be granted bail.
