Corporal Laundry grilled about omitting reference to key statement

Police Corporal Jermaine Laundry was yesterday closely questioned about why he omitted reference to a key statement from a witness taken just two days before he first testified before the Commission of Inquiry into the alleged plot to assassinate President David Granger.

The statement in question was one from Luanna Walker who alleged that the accuser in the matter, Andriff Gillard had planned to frame Nizam Khan, the person who was accused of offering money for the assassination of the President.

When the CoI into the alleged plot reconvened yesterday, Laundry was one of two witnesses called before Commissioner, Paul Slowe and team to give evidence. Walker’s statement was formally presented to the CoI on August 2nd when it was read by Laundry after being introduced by counsel for the Guyana Police Force, Ian Chang SC.
