Counsel for the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), who had requested that Dwane Williams, the alleged witness to the Lindo Creek murders, be called to testify, were yesterday blindsided by the news that he had already been privately interviewed by the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) investigating the killings.
This was shared just minutes before Justice Donald Trotman, who is leading the inquiry, ruled against an application to have Williams testify in open court and later indicated that he did not see the need for an in-camera hearing as was requested subsequently.
Trotman indicated that he was unaware that the attorneys had not yet been in possession of Williams’ statements, including the statement he would have given to Corporal Trevor Reid on the matter a decade ago.
