–Tyrone Hamilton
Former national cyclist, Tyrone Hamilton who was named in court documents submitted by Roger Khan’s lawyers as saying that he knew who killed Davendra Persaud, yesterday said the attorney misrepresented his views.
He insisted that he was unaware of who Persaud’s killer was, although acknowledging giving the alias of a suspect to Khan’s lawyer, Robert Simels who had contacted him a month ago.
Lawyers representing the Guyanese drug accused on Thursday opposed a US government motion to admit into evidence “uncharged conduct in Guyana, including two murders” which they said Khan has denied committing and they alleged that one of the two could have been killed because he was supplying guns to an anti-government gang in Agricola. Disclosures in the US court in New York about Khan’s alleged involvement in mass killings here have riveted the attention of Guyanese and resulted in the local police force on Wednesday formally asking the US government for any information on murders that Khan might have been involved in.
