John­son, Ec­cles and Dun­can died af­ter be­ing shot by po­lice in Bar­rack­pore on Ju­ly 27.Po­lice said they re­ceived re­ports that a sus­pect want­ed for a dou­ble mur­der at Cir­cu­lar Road, San Fer­nan­do, was head­ing to Bar­rack­pore in a white Nis­san B-15.The of­fi­cers said they were shot at when they tried to in­ter­cept the ve­hi­cle and re­turned fire.When they checked the ve­hi­cle they dis­cov­ered the three oc­cu­pants had been killed. How­ev­er, rel­a­tives of the three and res­i­dents of Moru­ga claimed the po­lice re­ports were un­true and staged six days of protest ac­tion over the in­ci­dent.
