Ex-cop cleared of fatal Rio Club shooting

Lloyd Roberts

Ex-policeman Lloyd Roberts, who was accused of murdering Ryan Sergeant, the teen who was fatally shot outside of the Rio Inn nightclub last year, was yesterday freed after a court found that there was insufficient evidence for him to stand trial.

The charge against Roberts stated that on September 26, 2016, in Georgetown, he murdered Sergeant.

When the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the charge resumed yesterday before Magistrate Judy Latchman, the prosecution requested that the case be reopened to admit a copy of the post-mortem report.
