The Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) yesterday said that as of Friday, July 30th it had not received the police file in relation to the shooting of 25-year-old Gladys Benedict by Region Nine Regional Executive Officer (REO), Karl Singh.
Stabroek News had reported in yesterday’s edition that on July 22nd, Police Commander of Region 9, Raphael Rose had said that the file was sent to the DPP for legal advice. When contacted again yesterday, Rose said that the case file had indeed been dispatched to Georgetown for legal advice in the matter. However, he explained that there is usually a channel which the file passes through before it reaches the DPP’s office.
