Security footage used as evidence in a murder trial came under the scrutiny of defence lawyers in the Supreme Court yesterday.

Extensive film of the killing of Letrae Doeman in the early hours of July 1, 2022 — taken by both police and civilian security cameras — was presented by the prosecution on Thursday.

Cameras across the island filmed the build-up to the shooting in Flatts Village as well as its aftermath.

According to the prosecution, the footage showed the timeline of the murder and the route the suspects took to arrive at the crime scene and make their getaway.

Nasaje Anderson, Jukai Burgess, QuaZori Brangman and Aaron Perinchief have pleaded not guilty to the murder of Mr Doeman.

In court yesterday, Detective Sergeant Joanne Raposo, who collated the footage, was cross-examined by lawyers for the defendants.

Marc Daniels, representing Mr Anderson, highlighted a number of clips and stills which showed two men on a motorcycle parking at the entrance of Brightside Guest House moments after the murder had taken place.

The footage showed one of the men get off the motorcycle and approach the slumped body of Mr Doeman before walking back to the bike.

Mr Daniels asked Ms Raposo if either suspect in the film was wearing any pale or yellow-coloured items of clothing. The officer said that they were not.

Mr Daniels then questioned Ms Raposo over clips and stills which showed a suspect on a bike driving along Tee Street heading south and then approaching the Crow Lane Roundabout from Berry Hill Road.

The cycle drove across the roundabout heading in the direction of Harbour Road.

Questioned by Mr Daniels, Ms Reposo repeatedly agreed that the bike rider was wearing dark clothing, including a dark top.

Mr Daniels then produced as an exhibit a jacket that was worn by his client on the night of the shooting. Although the body of the jacket was dark, the sleeves were a pale yellow.

Susan Mulligan, representing Mr Brangman, questioned the reliability of the video evidence.

She pointed out that clocks recording the timing of footage varied between cameras and did not run sequentially.

Ms Reposo replied that the clocks on some cameras taken from civilian establishments were inaccurate.

The trial will continue on Monday.
