A Somerset resident today told Supreme Court he heard a bike similar to Kevin Warner’s leaving the scene minutes after a man was shot dead.The witness, who cannot be named for legal reasons, lived in the vicinity of Peacock Crescent, in Sandys, where Dekimo “Purple” Martin was gunned down on May 28 last year.The man testified today in the trial of 21-year-old Mr Warner who is charged with premeditated murder and carrying a firearm used to commit an indictable offence. Mr Warner denies both charges.The man told the court: “About three minutes after the shots I had stepped back outside and heard someone starting the bike and heard the engine. It was coming up Woodlawn Road towards Middle Road.“It sounded familiar and I recognised it to be a four stroke bike, similar to the bike the accused had. Yes it was coming from where I heard the shots,” he added.Defence lawyer Kim Hollis QC, representing Mr Warner, asked the witness how he could distinguish between the sound of the accused’s bike and the noise made by other bikes on the Island.The witness first told the court he could “hear the difference”, but after further probing said: “I would say a four stroke is a four stroke. They all sound the same.”According to his evidence, he was home on a computer when the gun shots rang out after midnight on May 28.He remained at the computer screen for a few moments and said he wasn’t sure what he was hearing. He went to wake up a roommate who was sleeping in the next room, but the roommate hadn’t heard what was going on.The man said he then “stepped right outside and it was peace and quiet”. When he returned inside a friend in the area confirmed via Facebook there had been gunshots.Earlier in the trial, which began on Monday, the court heard from the victim’s sister Danielle Martin that her brother didn’t want people to know where he lived prior to his death.Ms Hollis claimed Mr Martin had asked to move in after getting himself “into a bind” and said he “was hiding from something or someone”.Chelsy Lewis, the victim’s cousin, was close friends with Mr Warner for four years leading up to the shooting.She said the accused was acting different than normal on the night in question and said he didn’t give her a hug and wasn’t joking around with her like usual.Other witnesses Robin Lewis and Anthony Seymour told the court that Mr Martin had been talking to the accused alone outside moments before his death.The case continues before Puisne Judge Carlisle Greaves.
