The Guyana Police Force should pursue those who assisted the escaped prisoner

Mar 20, 2021 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – It was reported in the News Media that Phillip Jhagroo, who was incarcerated for allegedly killing a friend on the Island of Leguan, escaped from the Lusignan Prison, East Coast Demerara. He was caught some four months later stealing chicken from a poultry farm at Ruby, a village on the East Bank of the Essequibo River. At the time of his arrest, he was accused of murder and will apparently be additionally charged criminally for escaping from lawful custody.

While on the run, Jhagroo was assisted by many people in his travels (Demerara to Essequibo), boarding and lodging. It is a criminal offence for any person to aid and abet anyone fleeing from justice. Therefore, the Guyana Police Force should not only ensure that Jhagroo is tried for all his alleged crimes, but also actively pursue and find all those people who connived and assisted him to evade justice, while he was on the run and was able to continue his penchant for the criminal activities he is accused of.

Yours truly,
Charles Sohan
