A Supreme Court prosecutor alleged yesterday that two Bermudians mailed a list of names to Jamaica indicating which witnesses in a Magistrates? Court trial were to be killed.

Kenneth Sinclair Durrant, 53 of Ord Road, Warwick, and Javon Ernest Gardner, 27, of Crossfield Lane, Sandys, have pleaded not guilty to conspiring with Vernon Berkley to kill Det. Sgt. Arthur Glasford, Det. Con. Terry Trott and Det. Con. Llewellyn Edwards, Sharrieff Wales and Dion Ford in Bermuda and elsewhere, on or before November 29, 2004.

In addition, the pair have denied attempting to pervert the course of justice on or before November 29.

If found guilty of conspiracy to murder the maximum sentence would be life.

In Supreme Court yesterday, Senior Crown counsel Carrington Mahoney said Gardner was due to appear for a Magistrates? Court trial on December 16, 2004.

?On November 29, 2004 both accused went to an international bonded couriers office in Hamilton where a letter written by Gardner along with $1,900 in US currency were placed in an envelope by Durrant, with Gardner present, and was sent by express mail to Vernon Berkley in Jamaica,? Mr. Mahoney alleged. ?The letter had a list of names of persons identified as witnesses for a trial. In the letter certain indications were given for which witnesses were to be killed.?

However, the package they sent off was actually intercepted in the US during a random check, he said.

?A controlled delivery was eventually made in Jamaica to a person identified as Mr. Berkley,? he said. ?From those allegations these charges arise.?

One of the names on the alleged list was Det. Sgt. Arthur Glasford, who testified yesterday he was the leader of a Police investigative team who had investigated an alleged stun gun attack.

The detective said the incident took place in a parking lot opposite the British/American Insurance building on Front Street on Saturday, September 25, 2004.

When Mr. Mahoney asked Det. Sgt. Glasford whether he saw the man who was taken into custody in relation to the incident, he pointed to Gardner sitting in the dock.

He said Det. Con. Terry Trott, Det. Con. Llewellyn Edwards and Det. Con. Trent Lightbourne were on the investigative team.

Civilian witnesses included the alleged victim Dion Ford, the main witness Sharrieff Wales and Andrea Simmons.

Gardner was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm and possession of a prohibited weapon ? namely a stun gun ? he said.

However, under cross examination by defence lawyer Victoria Pearman, he conceded no one from his team had witnessed the alleged attack.

Gardner was released on bail after an appearance in Magistrates? Court on October 28, 2004, he said.

The detective ? currently attached to the Serious Crime Unit? also revealed that the alleged victim, Mr. Ford, did not appear seriously injured when interviewed after the attack.

He also conceded that the first Officers at the scene were Sgt. Patterson, P.c. Bento and firearms expert P.c. Kirkpatrick.

And only two days into the trial ? two jurors had already been released ? one for being related to a witnesses and another for personal reasons.

Two new panel members were selected to hear Mr. Mahoney?s opening statement.

Durrant is represented by overseas defence lawyer John Perry QC and Craig Attridge and Gardner is represented by Ms Pearman and Charles Richardson.

Crown counsel Cindy Clarke will also be prosecuting the case before Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves.

The trial continues today.
