Leighton 'Livity' Coke, brother of Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, was yesterday denied bail when he appeared in the Gun Court.
The prosecution opposed bail on the grounds that things were now under control in west Kingston and fear was being expressed that, if Coke got bail, there could be an escalation of crime in the area.Supreme Court judge Paulette Williams turned down the bail application. Coke is to return to court on October 7 for case management conference.Coke is facing charges of shooting with intent and illegal possession of a firearm.
It is alleged that Livity fired shots at the police in May, during the unrest in west Kingston when his brother was being sought by the police in connection with a warrant for his extradition.
