Police file on sleepover shooting returned to DPP

Rockey Sawh

Almost two months after the police were advised to conduct further investigations into the killing of teenager Rockey Sawh, who was allegedly accidentally shot by his friend during a sleepover in Kitty, the case file in the matter was only recently returned to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

In November last year, the DPP had directed the police to conduct further investigation into the matter. Among the additional work that the police were asked to undertake was the preparation of a probation report on the suspect.

Stabroek News was reliably informed yesterday that the file was only returned to the DPP’s Chambers last week.
