Three police officers jailed on corruption charges

Oct 21, 2018 News

Three ex-policemen who were on trial on corruption charges have been found guilty and jailed.
The men, Corporal Shawn McPhoy, of 174 Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt; Constable Ray Drepaul Saul, of Eversham, Corentyne; and Constable Trevon McKenzie, of Princeton, Corentyne were out on bail.
They were accused of committing the act between September 10 and September 11, 2015 at Salton Village, Corentyne, Berbice. They were found guilty when they appeared before Magistrate Charlyne Artiga in the Whim Magistrate’s court.
The three, McPhoy, Drepaul Saul and McKenzie were charged with corruptly obtaining $6M from Rennison Park as consideration to drop charges against him for trafficking in narcotics. They were remanded to jail, but were subsequently granted bail in the sum of $300,000 in the High Court.
The ranks had reportedly stopped a vehicle in which Park was said to be transporting some drugs to the eastern border. McPhoy allegedly obtained the money from Park.
McPhoy and McKenzie were being represented by attorney at Law Chandra Sohan while Drepaul Saul was being represented by attorney at law Murselene Bacchus.
The court was also informed that two other police officers received a bribe of $500,000 but they returned the money.
Earlier Assistant Superintendent of Police Terrence Browne, who was also charged with the other policemen, was freed of the charge.
The prosecution had contended that Browne had obtained $500,000 from the ranks after they had received the bribe from Park.
The men had given indication of appealing the convictions.
