Moodie's defence lawyers were upset yesterday when he was not brought before the court. Michael Deans, one of the lawyers, argued that they were being given different dates and each time their client was not brought.

Friday arrangements

Following his submission, Senior Resident Magistrate Glen Brown ordered that Moodie be brought immediately. However, some minutes later the crown indicated that the investigating officers said the matter has been set for Friday and arrangements made.

As such, Churchill Neita, QC, another of the lawyers, said he hoped the accused is actually brought on Friday. Tom Tavares-Finson is the other lawyer in Moodie's legal team.

Moodie, 21, is implicated in the deaths of four men during an incident at the Double Diamond Gaming Lounge, Washington Boulevard, on October 20. He faces four counts of murder for the deaths of Ejon Peart, 20, sound system operator of Greendale Drive, Kingston 19; Davian 'Don P' Kerr, 19; and Lynchmore Forbes, 24, both of Pembroke Hall; and William Wilberforce, 28, of Duhaney Drive, Kingston 20.

Three others injured

Three men age 65, 26 and 20 and Moodie were also injured in the incident.

Allegations are that at 4:15 a.m., the eight were at the club, where Moodie and a female were allegedly having a conversation and men intervened. Shortly after, shots were heard. It was later discovered that they were shot. Peart, Kerr and Wilberforce died on the spot. Forbes later succumbed to his injuries.
