Two face masks were seized from murder-accused Antoine Anderson's house, and items with apparent blood on them from co-accused Philip Bradshaw's.

Evidence of the finds was given by Police officers during the fourth day of their trial for the alleged shooting of Aquil Richardson on Boxing Day 2007.

Bradshaw, 26, and Anderson, 31, deny murdering Mr. Richardson, 30. They further deny wounding another man, Lavar Smith, who was shot and injured during the same incident.

According to prosecutors, the victims were with a group of men outside a house in Camp Hill, Southampton, when two men dressed in black arrived on a motorcycle between 8.30 p.m. and 9 p.m. The pillion passenger is said to have shot at the group before dismounting and shooting Mr. Richardson twice in the head while he was on the ground.

Crown Counsel Carrington Mahoney said at the opening of the trial on Monday, that investigators found gunshot residue on a jacket worn by Bradshaw that night, and on a pair of pants belonging to Anderson.

On Tuesday, Jerome Martin, a member of the group of men who were shot at, told the trial he could not describe the faces of the culprits because they wore ski masks which blacked out everything but their eyes.

Yesterday, Detective Constable Rickson Wiltshire told the jury that Anderson attended Hamilton Police Station on January 2, 2008, where he was arrested and interviewed. He then accompanied officers when they searched his home in Captain Fox Road, St. David's.

Among the items seized by the Police was a pair of jeans from a storage room. In a front pocket was a black ski mask and a black mask with the eyeholes cut out. The officer showed these to the jury, explaining that Anderson said of the ski mask: "I had that from Army days in North Carolina."

The detective also found a black motorcycle helmet and a black extra-large Footlocker jacket on a rollaway bed downstairs – both of which the suspect said were his.

Among the other items seized was a pair of black Dickies pants. In the pocket was what Det. Con. Wiltshire described as "a piece of white tissue with what appeared to be dried blood on it". The court heard later that this blood turned out to be Anderson's.

Det. Con. Wiltshire went on to describe a second search at Anderson's home on February 28, which focused on searching for clothing as described by witnesses to the shooting. The officer seized another pair of Dickies pants from a plastic storage container, which Anderson said were his, plus a black leather jacket and a black helmet.

Asked why the second pair of pants was not picked up by Police during the first search, the officer replied: "They could not have been there on January 2 or I would have taken them."

Also giving evidence yesterday was Police Constable Stephen Palmer, who photographed items during a search of Bradshaw's home in Curving Avenue, Pembroke, on February 28, 2008.

Among a lengthy list of clothing items and shoes seized by the Police, Det. Con. Palmer said several tested positive during "presumptive" tests for blood. These were a pair of black jeans, a pair of Nike sneakers, one of a pair of Fila sneakers, a gentlemen's wristwatch and two gold rings. A black car at the residence was swabbed for gunshot residue, although the detective did not say what the result was.

Under cross examination from Benjamin Nolan QC, representing Anderson, the officer agreed that a positive presumptive test does not mean the substance found is definitely blood. He agreed that it could be animal blood or biological laundry detergent, and explained that the items were sent for further testing by an expert.

The case continues.
