TWO men accused of murdering a man at a funeral repast return to the Supreme Court today for jury empanelling.

The trial of Garvin Pratt, 21, and Eduardo Carey, 36, was expected to start yesterday before Justice Bernard Turner in connection with the shooting death of Delano Brice.

However, the lead prosecutor in the case, Anthony Delaney, was before the Court of Appeal where matters take precedence over cases before lower courts.

The matter was adjourned when 12 jurors and three alternates are to be selected from a pool of 48 persons.

Brice was shot in the neck during a drive-by shooting at Quakoo Street where a repast was held on August 23, 2014. He died in hospital four days later.

Pratt and Carey pleaded not guilty to the murder charge they face when they were formally arraigned in the Supreme Court on January 16, 2015.

They have retained Romona Farquharson-Seymour and Tonique Lewis to defend them against the allegation.

Timothy Bailey will assist Mr. Delaney in prosecuting the case.
