Police non-committal on Argentine expert’s request for documents on Berbice murders

Dr. Luis Fondebrider yesterday afternoon held a public lecture at the Roman Catholic Cathedral about the work of the EAAF team

Director of the Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology (EAAF) Dr. Luis Fondebrider has requested a list of documents from the police in order to offer advice on solving the murders of West Coast Berbice (WCB) youths Isaiah and Joel Henry and Haresh Singh but so far the law enforcers have not committed to do this.

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a public lecture last evening at the Roman Catholic Cathedral, Dr. Fondebrider said that he would only be in a position to provide recommendations and advice on the probes once the documents, said to number about 20, are provided to him.

Dr. Fondebrider, accompanied by Argentina’s Ambassador to Guyana Dr. Felipe Gardella and Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) Co-President Mike McCormack, yesterday morning met with Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn. Also present at the meeting were Commissioner of Police (ag) Nigel Hoppie and Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum.
