Summations are expected to begin this morning in the week-long inquest into death of a 38-year-old golf caddy.

After the Senior Coroner concludes his summary a five-man, three-woman jury, empanelled last Wednesday, will determine how, when and where Brian Sherlock met his death.

And if they find that he died as a result of murder or manslaughter, they must also point the finger at the responsible party or parties.

Mr. Sherlock was found lying in a pool of blood in the Dundonald Street car park by a woman during the early hours of the morning on May 20, 1994.

He was rushed to the King Edward VII Memorial Hospital suffering from stab wounds and head injuries. He succumbed to haemorrhaging in the brain caused from a fractured skull.

Yesterday, the jury heard how Police had a Pembroke canal dredged in a bid to uncover the items allegedly used to beat Mr. Sherlock.

Island Construction supervisor Steven Moniz, of Devonshire, said an area near the bridge on Canal Road was dredged of sludge on October 19 and 20 of 1994.

Mr. Moniz said several pieces of metal and wood were retrieved from the sludge collected from an area spanning the width of the canal and measuring 30 to 35 feet in length.

The items were collected by Det. Con. David Small, who has now retired from the Service.

Mr. Small said he showed Michael Robinson on October 20, 1994, one of the pipes collected from the canal.

He said Mr. Robinson identified the piece of pipe as the one allegedly used by Damion Smith to beat Mr. Sherlock.

Mr. Robinson reportedly told Police that he last saw the pipe as he, Mr. Smith and Paco Fubler walked along Canal Street following beating Mr. Sherlock.

Mr. Robinson told Police that Mr. Smith threw the pipe into the canal.

During the week-long inquest the jury has heard three conflicting versions alleging how Mr. Sherlock met his death.

One account, reportedly given to Police by Mr. Fubler, implicated all three men in Mr. Sherlock's death.

During a Police statement, Mr. Fubler claimed that Mr. Smith picked up a stick and broke it into three pieces, so each man had a length.

Mr. Fubler said all three men used the sticks to beat Mr. Sherlock after they spotted him lying in the car park.

A second version, put forth by Mr. Smith's cousin, Sean Smith, focused the blame on Mr. Fubler and Mr. Robinson.

In a Police witness statement Sean Smith claimed that his relative spoke to him on the morning of May 20, 1994, about Mr. Sherlock's death.

Sean Smith told Police that his cousin said he got Mr. Fubler and Mr. Robinson to do in Mr. Sherlock "to keep his mouth shut''.

And he claimed that his cousin told him that he did not personally attack Mr.

Sherlock.

But on the witness stand last week Sean Smith claimed that his witness statement was untrue.

A third story, reportedly put forth by Mr. Robinson suggested that he was an innocent party who was just in the "wrong place at the wrong time''.

He claimed that Mr. Smith brought up the idea of killing someone and that the victim should be the first person they saw.

Mr. Robinson told Police that the three got their weapons from a pile of trash at the junction of Elliot and Princess Streets. He claimed that he threw his weapon, a wooden stick, away as the three walked.

When they got to the Dundonald Street car park, Mr. Robinson told Police that Mr. Smith ran towards Mr. Sherlock who was lying on the parking meter.

He alleged that Mr. Smith and Mr. Fubler beat Mr. Sherlock in the head while he watched -- doing nothing to stop the attack.

He argued that if he tried to stop the beating, which he described as severe, his friends would have turned on him.

And Mr. Robinson told Police that Mr. Smith threatened to kill him if he told anyone about the incident.
