The Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) yesterday said it has advised that Magistrate Alisha George proceed with the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the murder of a moneychanger and his daughter despite the fact that one of the five accused had escaped from prison and is yet to be recaptured.
In a statement yesterday in response to news items on the case, the DPP’s Chambers said it has advised that the magistrate proceed in relation to the four accused who are in custody. The DPP said that this has been done before in several other preliminary inquiries. The statement from the DPP’s Chambers also chided the police prosecutor for not having sought its advice earlier.
