Police to lay charges for beating of Bartica civilians

Nov 24, 2010 News

Police are preparing to lay charges in two matters relating to the beating of Bartica residents.
Commander of ‘E’ and ‘F’ Division, Assistant Commissioner David Ramnarine told Kaieteur News on Monday that police are seeking legal advice on the two cases.
He declined to say whether the accused are civilians or police ranks, and whether one of the matters involves the alleged beating last June of popular Bartica television personality Winston Miller by three police ranks, including a cadet officer.
Miller alleged that he suffered a detached retina to the left eye after one of the policemen kicked him in the face. He is now blind in that eye.
Another Bartica resident had recently accused police ranks of assaulting him after ordering him to turn down the music in his vehicle.
“We have had a few incidents this year in ‘E’ and ‘F’ Division in which suspects who committed various crimes, including murder, have indicated that they have received beatings at the hands of civilians who assisted in arresting them,” Ramnarine said.
“Unfortunately, thus far, we have not been able to proceed in the direction to charge anyone in particular.
“There have been, however, two recent matters in the Bartica district, in which we are seeking legal advice…fortunately, we are going to be able to lay charges.”
Commander Ramnarine made the disclosure while responding to allegations that a prisoner, Lethem resident Jude Joseph, was beaten by two police ranks after being accused of stealing a motor cycle.
Joseph was charged on Monday and remanded to prison.
