The Police Complaints Authority (PCA) said it is prepared to investigate the controversial shooting to death of a Riverview fisherman by a policeman on Monday morning, even as relatives of the dead accuse the police of being dishonest.
Felix Da Silva, 27, of Riverview, Ruimveldt was shot three times by a policeman, who had gone to his home on Monday to investigate a reported burglary. The police said in a statement that Da Silva had attacked the policeman with a cutlass injuring him.
Yesterday, Stabroek News returned to Riverview to find a small vocal group planning its next move to protest the killing of the father of four. “It will not go down like other cases this is murder,” Michelle Russel the man’s wife said.
