Cop among three to stand trial for murder-for-hire plot

District Constable Andre Wright and his three co-accused will stand trial for conspiracy to murder in the Home Circuit Court.

Wright is jointly charged with Adrian Graham, Shavoy Bailey and Cavane Green after being implicated in a murder-for-hire plot which had targeted three American women in St James.

It is reported that a green card holder who lives in the United States had paid the men $400,000 to execute the women.

When the accused men appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Monday, Senior Parish Judge Lori-Anne Cole-Montaque informed them of the decision to transfer the case to the Home Circuit Court.

"All the best," the judge told them.
