Agricola Killing … “…It’s another execution”- Nigel Hughes

Sep 15, 2012 News

A post mortem yesterday on the remains of slain Agricola teen, Shaquille Grant, revealed that he was shot in the forehead, buttocks and heart. Alliance For Change (AFC) Chairman, Nigel Hughes, who viewed the autopsy, described the death as a clear case of execution.
“The injuries speak for themselves; it’s another execution,” the attorney-at-law said.
A police official told Kaieteur News that police ballistic experts are in possession of two Glock semi-automatic pistols, two MP5s (machine pistols) and a .38 revolver.
Police have alleged that they recovered the revolver from the young men after the confrontation. The other firearm were allegedly used by the police ranks who were at the scene.
The AFC has been collecting statements on the shooting to present to the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) since the party has stated that it has no confidence in the police investigating themselves.
This newspaper understands that the AFC has written to the DPP in relation to the shooting and is currently awaiting response.
Also the AFC has revealed that an eyewitness has come forward but the party is ensuring that the witness is secure before releasing statements to the DPP.
The police in a press release had reported that they were investigating reports that a group of men were planning a robbery when they were shot at. It is alleged that the ranks returned fire, killing Grant and wounding another youth.
The incident has fueled protests staged predominantly by residents of Agricola. However, Commissioner of Police, Leroy Brumell has promised a detailed investigation into the matter.
