Sharon Fraser, the mother of the teen who was shot dead by a policeman in 2010, is distressed at the outcome of the trial, while noting that from the evidence presented to the court the policeman should have been found guilty at least of manslaughter.
The grief-stricken woman recently told Stabroek News amidst tears that based on the evidence presented by the ballistics expert, her son could not have been fatally shot during a scuffle as was claimed. She also questioned why the evidence presented by one of the main witnesses, Fernando Ghani, at the preliminary inquiry (PI) was not presented at the trial. Ghani reportedly committed suicide about a year ago.
Fraser said this evidence coupled with that given by the ballistics expert should have been enough to convict ex-policeman Quancy John.
John, who was charged with the murder of 16-year-old Kelvin Fraser on June 7, 2010 at Patentia, West Bank Demerara (WBD) was freed just over a week ago.
Like other members of her family, Fraser said she is frustrated as it is clear she will never get justice. As such she is now leaving the matter in the hands of God,
