Breaking News: Cop in Kelvin shooting charged with murder

Thirty-year-old police officer Quancy John was this morning charged with the murder of 16-year-old schoolboy Kelvin Fraser three weeks ago at Patentia, West Bank Demerara.

John was remanded to prison by Chief Magistrate Melissa Robertson and will have to appear in the Wales Magistrate’s Court on July 16.

Fraser was shot and killed by the rank while he was reportedly fleeing police officers who had gone to the Patentia Secondary School following complaints of young men interfering with girls at the schools. His death triggered protest action by many, including his classmates, and many had called for the police officer to face the courts.
