The trial of four people accused of the murder of pharmacist Kurt McCartney was yesterday postponed because the court is engaged in another matter, Lyndera Curry, Sumya Ingraham, both of Plantol Street; Thorne Edwards and Okell Farrington, both of Pinewood Gardens, were scheduled to be tried on Monday in connection with the October 24, 2013 murder and armed robbery of McCartney. Prosecutors say he was robbed of a 2007 Hummer, worth $37,000.

However, Senior Justice Stephen Isaacs is presently presiding over the Donna Vasyli murder trial, which began on September 9.

In any event, the trial would still have been unable to proceed as attorney Sonia Timothy, who represents Curry, is before another court working on a murder trial.

The matter is now set for October 5. This is the second time that the trial has been postponed.

A fifth man, Terry Delancy, the owner of Virgo Car Rental, is separately being charged as an accessory after the fact. He is accused of enabling Curry, Ingraham, Edwards and Farrington to avoid due process of the law.

McCartney, who was the brother of Democratic National Alliance Leader Branville McCartney, was shot and killed in Gambier Village. His Hummer was discovered by police a few hours after his death east of Traveller's Rest Restaurant.

Terrel Butler represents Curry and Phillip Hilton represents Farrington. Ian Cargill appears for Delancy.
