Former cop freed on murder charge

Dec 18, 2009 News

Former police constable Satish Ragnarine of Orealla walked out of the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s court a free man after his matter was discharged by Magistrate Krisendat Persaud.
Ragnarine was one of three policemen (the others being constables Mohamed Yusuf and Lindsay Moriah) charged with the murder of Emron Hoosein, on April 12, 2004.
The other two were previously freed. However, Ragnarine had escaped from custody and had fled to Orealla, but was later recaptured and brought to trial.
Attorney at Law Ramesh Rajkumar who represented the accused, put forward strong arguments that there is nothing that was presented that linked his client to Hoosein’s death.
The magistrate in summing up concurred with the Attorney and stated that there were many incidents of assault and could not point as to which was fatal.
He referred to a scuffle which the deceased had with another person earlier and with two other policemen. He also had a severe fall at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
During the time of the incident, members of the opposition and residents of East Canje, where Hoosein hailed from, had staged daily pickets outside the Central Police station in New Amsterdam.
A file was prepared and sent to the DPP for advice and charges were recommended for the three cops.
Hoosein was allegedly beaten after he resisted arrest, he fell ill and was taken to the New Amsterdam hospital where he subsequently died.
