Two brothers serving in the Guyana Police Force (GPF), who were accused of torturing 17-year-old Akshay Budhiram at their La Parfaite Harmonie home were granted bail yesterday after they were jointly charged with abducting and wounding the teen.
Isaiah Bernard, a 26-year-old police constable attached to the Wales Police Station and Daniel Bernard, a 24-year-old police constable attached to the Tactical Services Unit, both of Lot 1092 Thirty-Eight Street La Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara appeared before Magistrate Zamilla Ally-Seepaul at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court and were read two charges. While they were brought shackled into the courtroom, the police orderly soon relieved them of the chains and began engaging in conversation with Isaiah Bernard.
The first charge alleges that on December 16th, 2019, at Schoonord, West Bank Demerara, the duo abducted Budhiram with intent to wrongfully confine him.
