Jamaican soldiers acquitted of murder in 2010 shooting of accountant during operation to capture 'Dudus' Coke.

Three Jamaica Defence Force soldiers were acquitted of murder charges related to the 2010 shooting death of Keith Clarke, a 64-year-old accountant, during a police-military operation to capture drug lord Christopher 'Dudus' Coke. The judge ruled that the prosecution failed to provide sufficient evidence to identify the soldiers as the shooters. Clarke's family is devastated by the ruling, while the JDF expressed relief. The civil case against the soldiers is expected to continue.
