THREE men charged with last month's robbery and murder of Constable Andre Chung, whose bullet-riddled body was found in Barbican, St Andrew, were yesterday further remanded when they appeared in the Gun Court section of the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court.

The three - Rasamin Brown, Christopher Thompson and Daniel Powell - who are each charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and illegal possession of a firearm, and who are all from Wilton Gardens, St Andrew, were ordered to return to court on April 23 when a bail application will be heard on their behalf.

The prosecution said, however, that the case file had not yet been completed as a forensic report outlining findings relating to *lo** samples, as well as hair and clothing fragments was outstanding.

Chung's bullet-riddled body was found in the Tavistock area of Barbican on March 5, after residents, who reportedly heard several gunshots in the area the previous night, contacted the police.

The policeman's service firearm was also missing.
Chung, who was the first police officer to be killed in 2008, was reportedly a Chinese language student at the Chinese Benevolent Association and attended classes regularly. It is alleged that Chung attended class before leaving in a taxi on the Tuesday evening he was killed. This, however, was not confirmed by the police.
