ST JAMES, Jamaica: Cop Charged in Granville Shooting Bail — Constable Andrew Wilson, the police officer charged with the murder of 45-year-old Latoya “Buju” Bulgin, was granted bail in the sum of $1 million with up to three sureties when he appeared before the St James Parish Court on Tuesday.
Wilson, who is represented by attorneys Peter Champagnie and Michael Hemmings, received bail from Parish Judge Natiesha Fairclough-Hylton during his second court appearance in connection with the fatal shooting, which occurred in Granville, St James, on May 17.
During the hearing, the court was informed that investigators have obtained a statement from the owner of a CCTV camera that reportedly captured footage related to the incident.
As part of his bail conditions, Wilson was ordered to reside at a specified address and report to a designated police station. The locations were not disclosed in open court due to concerns for his safety.
The constable was also directed to surrender all travel documents, and a stop order has been placed at the island’s ports to prevent him from leaving the country.
The prosecution, however, indicated that several critical documents remain outstanding, including the ballistic certificate, post-mortem report, and forensic certificate.
The matter is scheduled to return to court on July 10 for mention.
Wilson was arrested and charged on June 3 after the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions ruled on May 29 that criminal charges should be laid against him.
The case has attracted widespread public attention following the circulation of CCTV footage on social media that allegedly shows a police officer firing at a vehicle being driven by Bulgin.
The incident sparked outrage in the Granville community, particularly after footage also showed Bulgin’s body being placed into a police vehicle. Residents staged fiery protests in the aftermath, renewing calls for the implementation of body-worn cameras during high-risk police operations.
Investigations into the case remain ongoing.
