Police detainee dies on way to hospital

Feb 26, 2015 News

Investigations are being conducted by the Guyana Police Force into the death of another prisoner in police custody at the Parika Police Station, East Bank Essequibo yesterday.
The man was identified as 28-year-old Zaharadeen Razan of Cornelia Ida, West Coast Demerara (WCD).
Reports reveal that the man, who was found unconscious, was later pronounced dead upon arrival at the Leonora Cottage Hospital.
Prisoners had told the police the man was constantly hitting his head within the lock-ups walls for reasons unknown. This may had contributed to his unconscious state.
Razan was arrested and taken into custody at about 21:10hrs on Tuesday February 24, following a report of damage to property that was made against him.
Police disclosed that Razan was found alive and lying on the floor of the lock-ups during a visit to the cell by the police. Noticing the man’s condition, prisoners were questioned in the lock-ups and Razan was taken for medical treatment at the Leonora Cottage Hospital.
Investigations are being conducted by the Police Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).
