Police altered witness’ statement

The Coroner’s Inquest into the 19-year-old murder of Monica Reece continued on Wednesday at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court, where a witness said that police embellished the statement he gave to them.

The witness—his identity is not being reported in keeping with directions by Coroner Hazel Octive-Hamilton to ensure his security—testified about knowing only of a white vehicle which was owned by the people with whom he worked as a security guard back in 1993, the year Reece was murdered. He added that he knew nothing of a black 4X4,
