The police are yet to make an arrest following the attack last week on Managing Director of the Society Against Sexual Orientation Discrimination (SASOD) Joel Simpson, who was beaten by a group of six men at Bourda Market.
Contacted for an update yesterday, Commander of ‘A’ Division Marlon Chapman told Stabroek News that the investigation was continuing and that no arrest had yet been made.
Chapman said the police were pursuing an individual in connection with the matter.
The individual is suspected to be Maverick DeAbreu, who is on trial over the alleged assault of Soca artist Benjai. He has been identified as one of the assailants.
Simpson had previously explained to Stabroek News that he and his friends were previously accosted by the men at the Palm Court nightclub on the night of June 15th.
