A Surinamese policeman was shot and killed at a checkpoint in that country and searches of his car discovered some 51 kilos of cocaine and reports are that the drugs may have originated from Guyana.

According to media reports police officer Carlos Detimo was shot and killed last Saturday at a checkpoint in Nickerie by one of his colleagues who were manning the checkpoint. An investigation has been launched into the shooting and it is expected that it would also uncover the extent of Detimo’s involvement in the case.

Meanwhile, Detimo would not be given a funeral with police honours and no flag will be flown at half-mast following a policy decision by the police force in that country.
