Police deny claims by Kaikan resident of brutality

Commander of ‘F’ Division of the Guyana Police Force, Kevin Adonis has denied allegations of brutality  made against members of the police and army.

A resident of Kaikan Village, on the Cuyuni River, has alleged brutality by members of the Guyana Police and Guyana Defence Forces, who are in the community, and villagers have called for a thorough investigation to be carried out.

Stabroek News was reliably informed that a 21 year old resident, O’Neil Melbourne was arrested by police and soldiers, subsequent to a report, of him being involved in a fight during the wee hours of Friday morning. Melbourne is claiming that he was brutalized while in custody.
