Two police ranks linked to a corruption racket in Berbice have been fingered in a plot to kill another police officer.
Stabroek News was told that a ‘hit’ is said to be out on an officer in ‘B’ Division who was once awarded the Guyana Police Force’s ‘best cop’ award. According to a reliable source, information has been circulating that two officers mentioned in previous Stabroek News articles which revealed a corruption network in ‘B’ Division were promised a total of $3 million to carry out the hit.
However, after the articles were published, the ranks were reportedly deterred from carrying out their plans.
The source said that the ranks in question, a detective constable along with another officer said to be a lance corporal, allegedly received $1.4 million about two weeks ago to carry out the hit and were promised that the remaining amount would be paid once the job is completed.
