Former magistrate arrested at Linden
…for attempting to pervert course of justice
Attorney at Law and former Magistrate, Gordon Gilhuys, was arrested yesterday morning at the Linden
Attorney at Law and former Magistrate, Gordon Gilhuys
Magistrate’s Court for attempting to pervert the course of Justice.
According to CID Inspector Singh, Gilhuys is representing Michael Franklyn who is facing a charge of rape of a minor.
The allegation is that Gilhuys went to Woman Corporal Quimby and told her that he had spoken to the Virtual Complainant’s relatives and that they were prepared to drop the case. The allegation continued that the Corporal was told by Gilhuys that she must write the statement and place it in the file.
Singh said he was informed and he sent ranks to arrest the lawyer who reportedly said, “I am not going anywhere. If he wants me, let him come for me.”
Singh went to the court at Wismar where the Attorney was, and arrested him and took him to the Mackenzie Police Station, where Gilhuys denied the allegation.
Gilhuys was placed on $10,000 station bail. The file will be sent to the DPP for advice.
