ROHAN Townsend, one of four persons implicated in the November 2007 murder of Assistant Commissioner of Police Gilbert Kameka, is to return to the Home Circuit Court today when an application for bail is expected to be made on his behalf.
The June 6 date was set last Friday when Townsend, who is charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice and accessory after the fact, appeared in court, along with Massinissa Adams, 26; Kemar Dawkins, 18; and Tina-Gaye McGowan, who are charged with the murder of Kameka.
Townsend was in March offered $100,000 bail in the Half-Way-Tree Resident Magistrate's Court but the offer was withdrawn when the matter was transferred to the Home Circuit Court.
Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown, while offering bail in the RM Court, said after reading the case files, that he could see no reason for further remanding Townsend.
Kameka, was shot dead on November 29 last year at premises in Irish Town, St Andrew, where he had reportedly gone to spend time with McGowan, who had told the police that they both were intimately involved.
Kameka, the highest-ranked Jamaican police officer to be murdered, had his firearm stolen after the shooting.
