A female police Corporal is now in hot water after she was placed before the court on a charge of corrupt transaction.
Wanda Dutchin, 45, of Paradise Village, West Coast Berbice, committed the crime whilst stationed at the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam. Dutchin who was in charge of investigating juvenile, domestic and rape matters is accused of accepting a bribe to drop a rape allegation.
Dutchin appeared on Tuesday before Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs-Marcus in the New Amsterdam Magistrate’s Court on the charge of corrupt transaction by an agent of the state. She was not required to plead to the indictable charge and was placed on $30,000 bail.
According to Prosecutor Sergeant Phillip Sherriff on February 17, 2014 at Central Police Station, whilst being an officer of the State, she collected the sum of $20,000 from Janetie Doni Comraj to drop a charge of rape against one Vedyabarran Sookraj who was being accused of rape.
After the matter of rape was reported and investigations began the relatives of the accused allegedly paid a sum of money to the Corporal for her to drop the matter,
The virtual complainant after being given the royal run around began to make enquiries and eventually the matter reached the OPR. Dutchin was investigated and charged.
She will have to return to court on April 20.
