As part of its defence in the case of the Haitian nationals currently before the High Court the state has presented evidence that some of the migrants might be involved in the smuggling of children.
It has also said that they each lied to the immigration officer by claiming they would be staying at a Barrack Street address which has been an empty lot since August 2020.
According to an affidavit of defence signed by Detective Mitchell Caesar of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Myriame Vieux arrived in Guyana on November 7 with two minors aged 13 and 9 who are not related to her and whom she has admitted she did not meet until just before they departed Haiti.
