Dear Editor,
The Guyana Police Force is responding to an article published in the Kaieteur News of Sunday, May 12, 2013, under the caption, ‘Brazil mob may have executed Guyanese couple over stolen cache.’
From the outset the police are advising the public that information stated in the article purportedly coming from “police sources” is totally false, and the Police Force wishes to express grave concern over these falsehoods and speculation which are likely to incite hostility against persons of a particular nationality who reside and are working in Guyana.
While some facts concerning the murder of Jason Wills and the Mohotoos are still unknown, the police have a lot of intelligence and evidence surrounding the murder of Intaz Roopnarine which led to an arrest and charge in the matter.
The public will be made aware as the trial progresses that the circumstances surrounding the death of Roopnarine are quite contrary to the speculation in the Kaieteur News article.
Yours faithfully,
Ivelaw Whittaker
Public Relations and
Press Officer
