We generalize 3-manifolds supporting non-positively curved metric to construct manifolds which have the following properties : (1) They are not locally CAT(0). (2) Their fundamental groups are residually finite. (3) They have subgroup separability for some abelian subgroups.

Let G = E${\ast}_{A}F$, where A is a finitely generated abelian subgroup. We prove a criterion for G to be {A}-double coset separable. Applying this result, we show that polygonal products of central subgroup separable groups, amalgamating trivial intersecting central subgroups, are double coset separable relative to certain central subgroups of their vertex groups. Finally we show that such polygonal products are conjugacy separable. It follows that polygonal products of polycyclic-by-finite groups, amalgamating trivial intersecting central subgroups, are conjugacy separable.
