Alleged police shooting of men after chase still being probed

Cecil Sampat

Although two members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) were recently placed before the court, police will be conducting a further probe of the city chase which left civilian Cecil Sampat dead and his friend Winston Fraser paralysed.

This was confirmed by Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum, who told Sunday Stabroek yesterday that the ranks, who are currently on remand, are likely to face additional charges.

Sampat, 39, a John Fernandes Limited worker, died as a results of sepsis, caused by gunshot injuries after he and Fraser were allegedly shot by law enforcers sometime on July 25.
