Three were on Saturday charged for the November 20 quadruple murders at Fisher Lane, Norwood, St James. This brings to four, the number of persons who have been charged in connection with the murders.

Charged with four counts of murder are Damion Murray and Otis Brown, 19 and 17 years old, respectively, both of Bottom Pen, Glendevon, in the parish. Oneil Murray, 21, was earlier charged for illegal possession of firearm and ammunition and shooting with intent.

The four killed are Albert Smith, 46; Richard Henry, 19; Ricardo Wauchope, 13; and his 16-year-old brother Richard Wauchaupe, all of Fisher Lane, Norwood.

Police had reported that about 1:50 a.m. on Thursday, November 20, a number of men, armed with guns, went to a house at Fisherman Lane in Norwood where they shot and killed Ricardo.

They then went to another house on the premises where they shot and killed Smith, Henry and Richard Wauchope. The hoodlums then set the house ablaze. The police were called and the victim's bodies removed to the morgue.

Immediately following the murders, all four were arrested. However, Oneil Murray was charged the same day and was taken before the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Thursday, November 27.

Damion Murray, Otis Brown and the 17-year-old youth were on Saturday positively identified at an identification parade. They were subsequently charged. All four are scheduled to appear in the Montego Bay Resident Magistrate's Court on Wednesday, December 17.
