File on Belgrave shooting for DPP by Monday

Justice Kennard received the file from Crime Chief Seelall Persaud yesterday, after it had been sent back to him for further clarifications.

Belgrave, 21, of Middle Street, Pouderoyen, West Bank Demerara, was fatally shot near the White Castle Fish Shop on Hadfield Street, on October 6 by police, who were pursuing a car. He would have celebrated his 22nd birthday the day after his death.

Justice Kennard said that the matter at hand is complex in nature and as such it has to be analyzed completely. However, he said he will make his comments before the end of the week.

The chairman of the PCA has to make his comments before the file is sent to the DPP, who will have the final word on the case.

The three policemen implicated in the killings are under observation, which means they are not in custody, Persaud had previously said.
