The assault case against the two police officers charged with assaulting detainee Colwyn Harding was adjourned again yesterday.
The trial of police constables Devin Singh and Rosel Tilbury-Douglas was set to continue yesterday at the Providence Magistrate’s Court but was adjourned to October 8 due to Magistrate Leron Daly being away on leave.
Singh, of Lot 125 Mon Repos, East Coast Demerara, and Tilbury-Douglas, of 429 Back Road, Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, are jointly charged with assaulting Harding between November 1 and November 13, 2013, at the Timehri Police Station.
Singh also faces an additional assault charge.
Harding has accused the police of ramming a condom-covered baton up his anus and later physically assaulting him.
