Probe into shooting of School of the Nations director stalled

Dr. Brian O’Toole

The investigation of the almost year-old shooting of School of the Nations Director Dr Brian O’Toole is at a standstill and both he and the police are split on the reason why his assailant has not yet been brought to justice.

When contacted for an update on the police investigation on Monday, Crime Chief (ag) Michael Kingston told Stabroek News that there is a “thick file” on the investigation, which remains open. “We have a thick file, we have a thick investigating file…The investigation is not closed. Any bit of information we get, we pursue it,” he said.

Kingston, however, noted that unless O’Toole divulges the information which he claims he has, which might lead to the alleged shooter, the matter is likely to remain unsolved.
