Accused murderer, Troy Green was never assaulted by any police rank during investigations into the killing of Bibi Rafeena Saymar, the police said yesterday.
In a statement, police noted statements made to the media by Green’s attorney that he was beaten at the Leonora Police Station. Green has been charged with the murder of Saymar. “The police wish to categorically state that at no time was Troy Green assaulted by any police rank during the investigations,” the statement said.
It added that after his lawyer raised the matter in Court, the Magistrate asked the accused to produce the evidence of being beaten and examined his body after he had raised his top. “She then remarked that there were no visible signs of injury to the exposed parts of his body, but ordered that he should be medically examined,” police noted.
Green has since been escorted to the Georgetown Prisons where he made no complaint to authorities and was accepted at the facility, police said.
