The two suspects in the case of missing Scotiabank loans manager Michael Campbell were remanded when they appeared in the Black River Resident Magistrate's Court, on Friday.

They are Daren Josephs, 20, of Little London, Westmoreland and Devon Blair, 19, of Bucknor district, May Pen, Clarendon.

Another man, Simon Lindsay, of Spaldings, Manchester, who is also charged with Joseph and Blair in a separate case of illegal possession of firearm and ammunition, is to stand trial with them in the St Elizabeth Circuit Court which begins today.

The three men are also charged jointly with house breaking and larceny, which was committed in Claremont district, New Market. That matter is set for trial on February 9, next year.

On July 23 this year, during a spot check on the Goshen main road in the parish, police stopped a car with the three men on board and found the firearm.

The suspects, Blair and Joseph, were living in Santa Cruz downstairs the house that the missing banker Michael Campbell was living. Campbell was last seen alive on the night of December 20, 2007. Police witnessed Blair using Campbell's bank card at an ATM early the following morning.

Further investigations led the police to Joseph's home where they found a component set and a DVD player belonging to Campbell.

Campbell's Toyota Mark II motor car was found in Clarendon, on December 22 last year.
