Investigation into shooting

Sep 13, 2012 News

Acting Commissioner of Police, Leroy Brumell has assured that a thorough investigation will be carried out into the shooting which took place at Agricola.
He told Kaieteur News via telephone yesterday that he has activated the force’s internal organ, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) with former Crime Chief Heeralall Mackanlall heading investigations into the complaints against the police.
He advised that certain information must be presented before action could be taken against any rank. “Until a clear picture of what transpired on the day in question is painted, there is not much action that could be taken against the ranks, if any at all.”
Brumell explained that upon completion of the OPR’s investigation, the case file would be sent to the Director of Public Prosecution for advice.
The Commissioner added that a separate investigation would also be carried out involving the men detained at the time of the shooting. He claimed that the men will be questioned in connection with several other criminal matters.
“There have been a series of big robberies in the Flower Mill Road area and the men are likely to be placed on an identification parade,” Brumell said.
