A police constable, who is charged in connection with murder and a shooting incident, was granted bail in the sum of $1 million when he appeared in the St. James Circuit Court on Wednesday.
He is 37-year-old Constable Randy Campbell. He was also given strict reporting conditions.
The allegations are that on April 29, 2025, Campbell sought to intervene in a domestic dispute between his sister and her neighbour.
The conflict was over the flow of water between the adjoining properties.
During the argument, the neighbour known only as ‘Kyron’ allegedly confronted Campbell.
Reports are that ‘Kyron’ was subsequently joined by a friend, who allegedly tried to take a picture of the license plate of Campbell’s car, which was parked nearby.
This allegedly infuriated Campbell.
He reportedly pulled his firearm and shot ‘Kyron’ and his friend.
‘Kyron’ later succumbed to his injuries.
In court on Wednesday, it was revealed that Campbell had given a written statement immediately after the incident in which he claimed that the two men had attacked him.
Campbell is represented by King’s Counsel Peter Champagnie.
He is to return to court on April 29, 2027.
