Cop under close arrest as detained woman alleges rape

Jul 04, 2012 News

A constable attached to the Enmore Police Station, East Coast Demerara, is currently under close arrest, accused of sexually assaulting a female who had been detained overnight after her husband had lodged a complaint against her.
The woman’s allegations were made yesterday around 08:30 hrs at the Divisional Headquarters at Cove and John.
“The police constable identified has been placed under close arrest as the investigations continue,” a statement from the police indicated last evening.
The woman had been arrested sometime late Saturday night and was subsequently released on bail Sunday morning, last, after her husband had made a report of domestic violence against her.
After reporting the issue, the man had reportedly accompanied two police officers on duty to arrest his wife.
When the ranks detained the woman and took her to the police station, the husband, who also returned to the station with the trio, told the officers that he did not wish to “have any problem” and had asked them to “warn” the woman.
Acting Commander of the Police East Coast Division (‘C’ Division), Gavin Primo, told Kaieteur News yesterday morning that the allegation was brought to his attention early yesterday and he gave instructions that the matter be investigated thoroughly to “check on the accuracy of the allegation.”
He stated that the matter is too premature to issue a statement but assured that investigations are already being conducted by some of his senior detectives.
Meanwhile, another source said that it was impossible for the alleged rape to have taken place.
“It can’t be possible because the man went with the policemen to arrest his wife. Then he came back with his wife and police to the station and he was there all the time with his wife. She couldn’t have been raped, because she and her husband also left the station together,” said the source.
