A man who is accused of orchestrating, from behind bars, the murders of three people, including a policeman, appeared in the Home Circuit Court yesterday.

He is 41-year-old Michael McLean, who is charged jointly with three others. McLean and his co-accused - Melville McIntosh, Sashkia Sammon, and Brenda Shaw - are to return to court on June 6 as there were outstanding documents to be served on the defence.

Allegations are that in 2010, McLean ordered the killing of Constable Otis Barrett, who was shot and killed in Linstead, St Catherine, on September 19, 2010.

Barrett was attached to Mobile Reserve.

More than a month later, Evian Marsden and Michelle Fisher, who were of a Western Park address in Clarendon, were found dead on Pennant Terrace, off Red Hills Road in St Andrew, on October 25, 2010.

They were killed execution-style.

The police said their murders were linked to the cop's murder.

The police said they used a cell phone reportedly found in McLean's possession at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre to link him to the crimes.

McLean has been in custody since 2006 in connection with the murders of six members of a family in Duhaney Pen, St Thomas.

No trial date has been set in the matter.
