A prosecutor recapped key evidence in the Aquil Richardson murder case yesterday telling the jury it points to the guilt of two men who stand accused.

The move came at the conclusion of more than three weeks of evidence in the trial of Antoine Anderson, 31, and his brother-in-law, Philip Bradshaw, 26.

The pair deny responsibility for the killing, and for injuring another man on December 26, 2007.

Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Michael McColm told the jury yesterday morning: "It's a question of identity who is responsible?

"The prosecution says that on the evidence, you will be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt, considering all the evidence, that Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bradshaw are responsible for the death and the wounding that occurred on that Boxing Day."

Mr. Richardson, 30, was among a group of men standing outside the gateway of a house in Camp Hill, Southampton, around 8.30-9 p.m. that night.

According to prosecutors, Bradshaw and Anderson drew up on a motorbike, with Bradshaw on the back.

They say the passenger pulled out a gun and shot at the group of men before getting off the bike and pumping two bullets into Mr. Richardson's head at close range as he lay on the ground.

The trial has been running since January 26, during which time the jury has seen more than 70 exhibits and heard from dozens of witnesses.

Beginning his closing speech yesterday, Mr. McColm reminded them how they heard early in the case from Jerome (Sky) Martin, a member of the group that was shot at.

Mr. Martin told the jury he could not see the culprits' faces as both wore ski-masks and helmets.

He also gave evidence that the man on the front of the bike was bigger and wider than the pillion passenger who did the shooting.

"In simple terms, Mr. Anderson presents himself as a larger person than Mr. Bradshaw," said Mr. McColm, who also highlighted Mr. Martin's recollection that the pillion rider wore a fur-trimmed jacket.

Witness Malika Gumbs told the jury that Bradshaw borrowed a jacket matching this description from her.

She said he wore it with dark jean pants when he left his home in Curving Avenue, Pembroke, with Anderson around 8 p.m. that night.

Ms Gumbs described how Anderson wore a black leather jacket and work pants, and said she saw him holding a ski mask after they returned home.

Investigators found a ski mask and black eye mask at the house in St. David's where Anderson lived with his mother when he was not staying in Curving Avenue.

Anderson told the jury the masks were leftovers from an old fancy-dress costume.

Gunshot residue was found by investigators on a pair of navy-blue work pants found at his St. David's home and a pair of blue jeans found at the Curving Avenue home. Both are said by prosecutors to belong to Anderson.

Mr. McColm asked the jury to reject Anderson's claim that neither pair of pants belonged to him. He also reminded the jury how Bradshaw drove his wife to work for her 11 p.m. shift at the Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute on Boxing night. Gunshot residue was found on the handbrake lever and driver's door of the Ford Focus car he used.

Next, the prosecutor reminded the jury of evidence from Delroy Campbell, who lives in a house overlooking the scene of the shooting.

He went onto his porch after hearing explosions and saw a bike at the scene, and Mr. Richardson lying on the ground. Mr. Campbell told the court he saw the pillion passenger walk over the victim and fire two shots at him with his right hand.

Mr. McColm said this was relevant because Ms Gumbs' fur-trimmed jacket was found by investigators to have gunshot residue on the right side, consistent with a right-handed person firing a gun.

The prosecutor also referred to a Police interview with Antoine Anderson on January 3, 2008. Anderson admitted on the witness stand that he lied during this interview, telling detectives he was home in Curving Avenue that night.

Anderson told the jury he was actually at a friend's home in St. George's when the shooting took place, but he lied to the Police because he could not prove this alibi.

Mr. McColm said Anderson "went out of his way" to nominate people who could support this lie, including his sister and neighbours.

He pointed out to the jury that Anderson had the right of every suspect to remain silent during the interview and was accompanied by his lawyer but lied nonetheless.

The trial was halted due to one of the jury members being sick yesterday afternoon.

Mr. McColm will continue his closing speech if it resumes today, followed by lawyers for the two defendants.
