Handcuffed prisoners beat cop in police station

Feb 06, 2014 News

Three prisoners went berserk yesterday, battering a Police Detective Constable even as they were being led into the Cove and John Police Station lock-ups following their second appearance before Magistrate Zamena Ali.
The three prisoners, Devon Manroop, and brothers Delon and Bevaughn Boucher, who were sharing handcuffs have left Constable Paddy nursing a gaping wound on his left hand, which required several stitches.
The prisoners have been charged wth attempting to commit armed robbery on Bourda Market stallholder Deonauth Rajkumar early last month at Haslington, East Coast Demerara.
One of them was shot when the businessman who is a licenced firearm holder, backed them off.
This newspaper was reliably informed that as the prisoners were being led from the courtroom which is situated above the lock-ups, one of them requested a cigarette from a relative who was in the compound.
Constable Paddy, who was escorting them along with another rank, objected to this arrangement and the prisoner became angry and verbally abusive.
The bandit then got physical and using his free hand, he dealt paddy a cuff to his face. Before the constable or his colleague could react, the two other bandits pounced on Paddy and began cuffing him about his body.
One of the prisoners then cuffed a glass window and when it broke he grabbed a sharp piece and stabbed Constable Paddy, who by now was dazed from the earlier blows he had received.
Eventually other ranks came to his rescue and they managed to subdue the prisoners and secure them in the lock-ups.
The prisoners are expected to face additional charges stemming from yesterday’s assault.
