Clarifying a case of mistaken identity
Dear Editor,
In response to the article appearing in the Kaieteur News about a JP and a woman held by the police at Grove, East Bank, Demerara, for sexually abusing a 13-year-old, I must point out that I read the article and did not bother about it. However, after receiving a few phone calls on the said day the article was published Saturday 21st February 09, I became horrified.
The report did not say the JP was from Grove, East Bank Demerara; it said the police from Grove swooped down at the JP’s East Bank, Demerara home.
However, some of the readers drew the conclusion that this person is a Justice of Peace who lives in Grove, thus I kept getting phone calls on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd.
In the circumstances I did some investigation and discovered that the individual, who was held by the police in connection with the above mentioned matter, does not live in Grove, East Bank Demerara and is not a Justice of Peace.
Wendell P. George
