A convicted murderer has told jurors that the three men standing trial over the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Stovell are members of the MOB gang.

Christoph Duerr said that Zikai Cann, Trevone Saltus and Cordova Simons-Marshall belonged to the West End Money Over B**ches group.

Mr Cann and Mr Saltus are accused of murdering Mr Stovell as he sat in a parked minibus across from Woody’s in Sandys on September 23, 2012.

Prosecutors say that the two men were part of a group of men that descended on the bus before Mr Stovell was shot and killed.

Mr Simons-Marshall is alleged to have been involved with hiding the murder weapon after the shooting.

Yesterday at Supreme Court, Mr Duerr took the stand for the second day and revealed that he had been jailed for life in 2015 for the “Belvin’s murder”.

He maintained that he had not kept firearms for the MOB gang, but admitted that he had looked after firearms before Mr Simons-Marshall handed over a silver 9mm gun to him on the night of Mr Stovell’s murder.

Under cross-examination from Mr Simons-Marshall’s lawyer, Elizabeth Christopher, Mr Duerr insisted that Mr Simons-Marshall had handed over the gun as well as a bulletproof jacket to him on September 23, 2012.

Ms Christopher accused Mr Duerr of lying and suggested that he had never seen her client on the night of the shooting.

He replied: “I disagree, I did.”

Ms Christopher continued: “You threw Mr Simons-Marshall in this to help yourself didn’t you?”, to which he replied: “No”.

The defence lawyer went on to suggest that Mr Duerr liked “the thug life” and got excited by gangs, to which he again replied: “No”.

She also suggested that he had implicated Mr Simons-Marshall because he was desperate to get a reduction in the minimum term of 25 years that he must serve before he can be considered for parole after the Belvin’s murder conviction.

Mr Duerr admitted that part of the reason for providing statements to police in April 2016 relating to his dealings with Mr Simons-Marshall was to get a reduction in sentence. However, he added: “It was also to show that I had nothing to do with this murder.”

Ms Christopher then pointed out “but you did because you concealed the weapon”, to which Mr Duerr said: “Yes”.

On Monday, Mr Duerr told jurors that Mr Simons-Marshall had contacted him on the night of the murder and told him to come to a friend’s house on Boaz Island.

Mr Duerr said that Mr Simons-Marshall handed him the firearm wrapped in a black handkerchief as well as a bulletproof vest because he expected police would “bust” his home.

He told the court that he returned the weapon to Mr Simons-Marshall the next day.

Mr Cann, 27, and Mr Saltus, 28, both deny murder and using a firearm to commit murder.

Mr Simons-Marshall, 26, denies handling a 9mm Smith and Wesson autoloading pistol and being an accessory after the murder by concealing the gun.

The trial continues.
