Arrests likely from Buxton video footage

Jun 26, 2008 News

President Bharrat Jagdeo has said that it is very likely that persons whose images appeared on a tape recording meeting with gunmen in Buxton could be detained soon.
The President was responding to reports that quoted him as saying that he has seen tapes with individuals meeting with the bandits in Buxton.
“Some people would be embarrassed. The same people who run around the place and call for inquiries and speak about the Joint Services, they will be thoroughly embarrassed,” the president stated.
He said that the video footage existed even before the Lusignan massacre.
However, the tape was not released because it would have compromised the clandestine operation that led to the footage being obtained.
He explained that some of the footage was taken from houses in Buxton and a release of the tape would have shown the angle from which it was taken.
The other set of footage was taken by informants who had hidden cameras and who were sitting next to the criminals.
“If we make that public, you would betray who the informants were and the houses from which the surveillance was taken. But clearly when the faces were extracted from the footage and they were available to the security forces, (the forces) went looking at them even before Lusignan,” the president told a media conference yesterday.
