Bring in the FBI

Dear Editor,

The murder of those 8 hapless miners at Lindo Creek reminds me of the murder of the electrician, Charles de Menezes, who was mistaken for a suicide bomber after 7/7 in England. The day after the police said they had killed a terrorist at Stockwell Underground Station in London, the police had to admit that they killed the wrong man.The police were under pressure to respond and get results.

There seems to be some similarities in the murder of Menezes in England and the miners in Guyana. First, the police in England tried to blame Menezes for his demise. The police claimed that he ran through the station, when he did not; in the train they said he confronted the police when he didn’t. And then they claimed that he had overstayed his time in England by three years, making him an illegal imimigrant.

In Guyana the owner Mr Arokium is being blamed for not bringing out the miners when it was heard that  Fineman’s gang was in the area.

The murder of these 8 miners represents a drastic change in the modus operandi of Fineman gang, if it was indeed they who did it. Why would they shoot them then take their time and burn them as if they were covering something up. You’ve got to remember they had barely escaped from the Joint Services party. They were on the run and time was of essence. The Fineman gang would have made a statement by leaving the dead exposed as was done in Lusignan and Bartica.

It is easily understandable how the police were quick to discover that the shell casings found at Lindo Creek match those shell casings found at Lusignan and Bartica.

Like the British police the Guyana Joint Services were under extreme pressure to respond and to get results.
Bring in the FBI. Let the Joint Services team do a polygraph test. We’ll get the answers then.

Yours faithfully,
Roger Moore
