Jurors in the Cooper twins murder trial yesterday visited the cliff top site where the brothers? bodies were found.

Twins Jahmal and Jahmil went missing last March ? and after a massive Police manhunt their bodies were recovered a month later from scenic Abbot?s Cliff, overlooking Harrington Sound.

Amid tight security yesterday, the jury of five men and seven women travelled by bus from Supreme Court One to the secluded Hamilton Parish cliff.

They were accompanied by trial judge Chief Justice Richard Ground, prosecution and defence lawyers and legal officials, although the men who deny murdering the twins last March ? Kenneth Jermaine Burgess and Dennis Alma Robinson ? did not attend.

During a thirty minute visit on a rain-interrupted outing, the jurors were led down wooded paths and through sometimes thick undergrowth by Detective Constable Steven Palmer, of the Police Forensic Support Unit.

He showed the jury three routes to the remote cliff from the road.

The court had earlier heard how the crime scene photographer ? who abseiled about 78 ft down to the remains ? took a series of pictures at the cliff after the bodies were recovered on April 13, 2005.

Before the visit, DC Palmer told the jury a black jacket, blue jeans, white Reebok trainers, a white sock, a yellow sweatshirt and a piece of beige-patterned carpet ? some caught up in bushes ? had been retrieved from the cliff face.

Some items were in such dense foliage, he added, that they could not be captured on film on the descent and had to be photographed when taken back to the Police station.

Mr. Justice Ground had earlier banned photographs or video film footage being taken during the site visit, which was only confirmed by yesterday morning.
