Family members of Special Lance Corporal Carlos Alleyne, who succumbed to injuries at a city hospital over three weeks ago, are still looking for answers from the Guyana Police Force, despite legal advice having been sought weeks ago.
Twenty-five-year-old Carlos Alleyne succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital on May 4, 2019, after he was allegedly beaten by other ranks while stationed at the Special Constabulary Headquarters, Princes Street, Wortmanville.
When Stabroek News contacted Alleyne’s mother, Jocelyn Ambrose, she stated that she has not heard anything from the police following the incident. The woman, who buried her son almost two weeks ago, said that she is upset at the fact that she does not know what is happening in the investigation. “Since how long I ain’t hear nothing from de police, I ain’t know nothing wah going on,” Ambrose stated.
The woman said that she wants justice for her son and believes that the police should be able to let her know the current stage of the investigation. “Is like cause he done dead and bury they forget about he and everything else but we still need to know,” the woman told Stabroek News.
Ambrose stated that she intends to speak with higher officers in the police force to get justice for her son.
Previous reports indicated that the relatives of the special lance corporal found out about his death three days after he succumbed to the injuries. Alleyne’s mother stated that she was informed that he was beaten and subsequently locked in a room but was later released after pleading to seek medical attention. They later discovered that he went to the GPHC alone, without the company of any of his colleagues.
Stabroek News had last reported two weeks ago that police had sent the file on the matter for legal advice.
