With pressure building on the government to take action over whistleblowing allegations by Sergeant Dion Bascom against the police force, acting Top Cop Clifton Hicken last night sought to deride the claims and to paint the accuser as compromised.
In a statement, Hicken said: “Police Sergeant Dion Bascom, has, over recent days, made a number of public, wholly unsubstantiated allegations, which have been given wide media coverage; alleging police misconduct in the ongoing investigation of the murder of Ricardo Fagundes.
“Sergeant Bascom has refused to submit himself to any investigation by the police of his public allegations, nor provide any evidence in support of the allegations which he has made public.
