Cops deny beating ‘hit-man’ Troy Green

Jun 05, 2010 News

The Guyana Police force has denied that alleged hit-man Troy Green was beaten while in police custody.
They were responding to allegations made by the 22-year-old man and his attorney, Mishka Puran, that he was beaten by police ranks at the Leonora Police Station to sign a statement which implicated him in the murder of hairdresser Bibi Rafeena Saymar.
“The Police wish to categorically state that at no time was Troy Green assaulted by any police rank during the investigations into the murder of Bibi Rafeena Saymar,” a release issued yesterday stated.
“Further, after his lawyer raised the matter in Court, the Magistrate asked the accused to produce the evidence of being beaten and examined his body after he had raised his top and turned around so that his body could have been seen.”
“She then remarked that there were no visible signs of injury to the exposed parts of his body, but ordered that he should be medically examined.” “Troy Green has since been escorted to the Georgetown Prisons where he made no complaint to the Prison authorities and was accepted at the facility.
Green and the victim’s 55-year-old reputed husband Dennis Persaud, were charged earlier this week with Saymar’s murder.
Police alleged that Persaud hired Green to kill Saymar, who succumbed to eleven stab wounds.
