Acting Police Commissioner David Ramnarine yesterday said evidence disproves the claim by labourer Devon Lyte that he witnessed the police’s fatal shooting of three robbery suspects along the Kingston seawall from the rooftop of a Carifesta Avenue building, while the man’s lawyer called for a full, independent investigation due to the lack of confidence in the police force by him and other witnesses.
“Our investigators are in possession of three statements or in fact several statements but three of which are very, very instructive to the extent that Mr Devon Lyte was never ever, I repeat, never ever on the roof of the building that he claimed he was on…,” Ramnarine yesterday afternoon told a press conference, where he noted that the “active investigation” of the killings has seen several statements obtained, including from the contractor, sub-contractor and security supervisor at Lyte’s worksite.
