Marudi brutality probe completed, cops awaiting DPP’s advice

The police force is awaiting advice from the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) on whether to lay charges against the policeman implicated in the flogging of a number of miners and a woman and her child at Marudi, in Region Nine, earlier this month.

“The file is with the DPP and we are waiting to hear what they say before anything,” acting Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell told Stabroek News on Tuesday.
