Expert analyses CCTV murder footage
An expert in analysing pictures from security cameras told a jury about the clothing and guns belonging to two men who shot Raymond (Yankee) Rawlins dead.Clive Burchett used his experience to interpret footage from inside and outside the Spinning Wheel nightclub on Court Street, where Mr Rawlins, 47, was murdered in the early hours of August 9, 2010.David Cox, 31, from Smith's, is on trial alone accused of being one of the gunmen.Mr Burchett referred to a man in a blue rain jacket, who is alleged by prosecutors to be Mr Cox, as “Man A” in the CCTV camera footage. He referred to the second man as “Man B”.Man A entered the club ahead of Man B. According to Mr Burchett, he carried a handgun that appeared to be a self-loading pistol. He looked to be right-handed.Mr Burchett said Man A was a dark-skinned person who wore the hood of his rain jacket up. The jacket had a logo on the chest "broadly consistent with an Adidas-type logo".He said the appearance of the hood, pulled over the man's head, suggested it either had a strengthening wire inside it or he was wearing a hat underneath. It was not possible to see a hat in the pictures, however.The man wore light-toned gloves, dark baggy bottoms and light shoes.Mr Burchett said it was hard to determine his height as the camera in the club pointed down at the scene from a steep angle. However, he estimated him to be around 5ft 10ins when wearing footwear and headwear.Mr Burchett went on to describe Man B, who he said wielded a handgun that looked like a revolver. He wore a dark-toned baseball with a straight-sided peak plus a dark jacket with an elasticated waist and cuffs and multi-coloured badges on the sleeves and front. He also wore plain light-coloured gloves and dark footwear.Mr Cox denies premeditated murder and using a firearm to commit murder and the case continues.See tomorrow's edition of The Royal Gazette for full coverage of the trial.
