Witness a no-show for police interview on seawall killings

Devon Lyte, the labourer who said he witnessed the recent police killings of three alleged robbery suspects along the Kitty seawall, Georgetown, did not show up for an agreed interview with a detective yesterday and his lawyer said he needed 24 hours.

Only a day earlier, Lyte, in the company of attorney Nigel Hughes, had submitted a sworn statement in which he said he witnessed the fatal encounter while working on the roof of Guyana Softball Association building on Carifesta Avenue.

In a press release yesterday afternoon, the Guyana Police Force confirmed that the interview did not take place as arranged.
