Braithwaite’s intervention on the killing of three suspected bandits by police was timely

Dear Editor,

I write this letter to commend and support Mr Barrington Braithwaite’s timely intervention when he questioned the Guyana Police Force report on the fatal shooting of three suspected bandits on the Georgetown Seawall on Thursday, March 15, 2018.

I fully identify with all the points of concern mentioned in Mr Barrington Braithwaite’s letter that was published in the Stabroek News on Monday, March 20, 2018, under the caption ‘An inquest is required into the deaths of these three men’, and support his plea that the horrible police practices of extra-judicial killings that took place under the Jagdeo regime, “should never be allowed to rise again”. I also join him in his call for an inquest to determine what took place. From the admission of the police it was a sting operation.

Yours faithfully,

Tacuma Ogunseye
