Fingerprints from three of the seven men on trial over a mob attack were found on crash helmet visors recovered from the scene.

Police fingerprint expert Monique Hill found matches for Kyle Tannock Williams, Bennett Phipps and Kiwaun Gilbert relating to three visors.

They are charged alongside Detroy Smith, Damon Darrell, Allan Douglas and Kaiwan Trott with attacking Temasgan Furbert near his Hamilton Parish home.

No prints were found matching the other men on any items recovered from the scene, according to Ms Hill.

Mr. Furbert, 23, was left badly injured after the attack.

In evidence last week, he told the jury that a group of 20 to 25 men arrived at his family home in Midland Heights on February 27, 2009. They smashed the windows then chased him to nearby North Church Lane where they attacked him with weapons including a power drill, machetes, a baseball bat, helmets and a cane.

According to prosecutor Robert Welling, the attack was prompted by a fight involving Mr. Furbert and two men named Jade Foggo and Brandon Trott, from St. George's, the night before.

During his evidence, Mr. Furbert identified Phipps as using the power drill behind his ear and on his side. Trott allegedly pulled him off a fence he'd been trying to climb and kicked and punched him and hit him with an unspecified weapon.

Mr. Furbert alleged that Tannock Williams hit him in the side with a baseball bat and Smith hit him with a cane. Meanwhile, he said Douglas had a machete which he used to chop his sides. He told the jury he heard Gilbert's voice but did not see him with a weapon. He said he saw Darrell at the scene, but he did not participate in the attack.

He added that he knew all the men previously he went to Clearwater Middle School with Tannock Williams, Phipps, Smith, and Gilbert and had no beef with any of them.

He required plastic surgery after his lip was almost torn off, lost four teeth, and needed stitches for a wound behind his ear, allegedly inflicted with the power drill.

However the defendants, who are all aged in their 20s and from St. George's, claim they were never at the scene. They deny wounding Mr. Furbert with intent to cause him grievous bodily harm and smashing the windows of his home.

Douglas and Trott further deny possessing machetes as weapons while Tannock Williams denies being armed with a baseball bat.

The jury also heard a tape recording yesterday of Smith's Police interview, conducted on March 6, 2009 after his arrest in connection with the attack.

He denied any involvement, telling detectives he is a family man with a son and he would not do anything to get into trouble.

Smith explained he was visiting friends in St. George's on the night of the attack and later went to a party at Club Ovation in the town.

Asked for his response to Mr. Furbert's allegation that he saw him during the attack, Smith, 24, insisted "I wasn't there" and commented: "I don't know why he said me, but that's for him to answer".

He told the Police he'd known Mr. Furbert for 11 years since they were at middle school and they served in the Regiment together. He explained that they argued when they were younger but patched things up during their time in the army.

Mr. Smith said he was aware his friend Jade Foggo was involved in a fight with Mr. Furbert and Brandon Trott at Hamilton Parish Workman's Club on February 26, 2009. However, he said he did not know who attacked Mr. Furbert the following night.

The case continues.
