The three men accused of attempting to kill a Canadian tourist and the armed robbery of his friend on Christmas Day 2011 were acquitted of the charges on Tuesday.

A jury reached a six to three not guilty verdict in the Supreme Court yesterday.

The men, Patrickedo Rose, Dino Price and another man, who was a minor at the time of the incident were found not guilty of attempted murder and armed robbery.

It was alleged that the men attempted to kill Mitch Nimi by stabbing him several times to the back, chest and abdomen early that Christmas morning and robbing Mintez Armbrister of a gold chain valued at $1,000.
