Police ranks being probed over latest escape from Lusignan Prison

The police ranks who witnessed the escape of remanded prisoner Dellon Blake from the Lusignan Prison last Wednesday have since been removed from the location to facilitate an investigation, Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan says.

Ramjattan on Friday told reporters that he is concerned about the frequent escapes that have been occurring at the prison facilities and the level of security that is provided at the prisons. “It is horrific, the irresponsibility of our policemen and this thing has been happening too often now”, he said.

Blake, 35, a resident of Kamuni Creek, West Bank Demerara was recaptured on Friday by a resident of the Soesdyke/ Linden area.
