Cops ask US for info on Roger Khan ‘murders’

Under pressure to do more to probe the over 200 murders allegedly committed by a squad connected to drug-accused businessman, Roger Khan, the police yesterday said that they had requested information from the US on killings linked to him.

It is not clear whether the US Embassy here has replied to the request, which came in wake of bombshell revelations in a New York court where Khan is being tried for allegedly conspiring to import cocaine into that country.

In a terse statement issued yesterday afternoon, the Guyana Police Force said that consequent to media reports about murders committed by Khan in Guyana prior to his incarceration in the United States, it has requested of the US Embassy in Guyana any information in the possession of the US authorities in relation to the murders.
