The five men, including a 72-year-old, who are implicated in the almost $12-billion cocaine bust in Havendale, St Andrew, were remanded for medical examination when they appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday morning.
Parish Judge Maxine Ellis ordered that all the accused men are to be taken to see the doctor “as soon as possible” after a lawyer for two of the accused made the request.
One of the men, 42-year-old Clayton Peart, indicated that he did not need to see the doctor, but the judge insisted that all of them must be examined.
The accused are Kingston residents Clive Davis, 57; Junior Haldane, 72; George Sterling; Collin Ricketts, 58, and Peart. They were accosted during the raid at Riverside Drive in Havendale.
They are each charged with possession of cocaine, dealing in cocaine, trafficking cocaine and conspiracy.
