…another suspect arrested

Commander of “A” Division, George Vyphuis, has said that Office of Professional Responsibility has completed their investigations into the shooting to death by an off duty police officer, of Hewley Barker and the wounding of Mark Caesar, called “Lil Mark”. The commander said that file is fully ready and it is going to be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions for further advice.
Meanwhile, this newspaper was reliably informed that another suspect in the shooting was arrested yesterday. The person is said to be the nephew of a popular city businessman. Police sources yesterday told this newspaper that the suspect was the person who may have caused the shooting.
“The suspect was the person who had the confrontation with the police officer and he left and returned with the two men,” the source explained.
Barker was fatally shot while Caesar was shot in the back two Saturdays ago at Roopa’s Bar on Station Street, Kitty. Caesar was released from police custody last Wednesday after he posted $100,000 station bail.
His mother, Donna Aaron, had told this newspaper that her son had been released from the Alberttown Police Station after he managed to secure $100,000 bail. The woman also said that her son is also required to report daily to the police station, as the investigation continues.
She said that she is grateful that her son was released adding that the truth behind the shooting would be known shortly.
On Monday last, Caesar was released from the Georgetown Public Hospital only to be taken into custody.
The man’s wife, Claudia Caesar, had told Kaieteur News that members of the police force acted very unprofessional in carrying out their duties. She said that her husband was taken into custody even though he has a wound that still required medical attention.
Mrs. Caesar said that the treatment being meted out to her husband demonstrates that the force has no feelings for human beings.
The woman had said that she was told that after her husband and Hewley Barker were shot they were both placed on the bridge and beaten.
“I really do not know why the police did not take them to the hospital; they probably wanted both men to die.”
Caesar’s wife and mother had both reiterated that he had a checkered past, but has since changed his ways and had been living uprightly.
It is reported that Caesar and the now dead Barker went to make peace in a fight involving the policeman and their friend. During this confrontation there was a scuffle that ended in the shooting.
