Cop gets bail on obstruction charge in Quindon Bacchus killing

Dameion McLennon, the Cadet Officer who is accused of attempting to cover up the police killing of 23-year-old Quindon Bacchus, has been released on $250,000 bail.

McLennon, 35, of Lot 975 Pattensen, Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara (ECD), was granted bail following an application in the High Court heard by acting Chief Justice Roxane George.

According to a statement from McLennon’s attorney, Bernard DaSilva, his application for bail was primarily based on the ground that on the day in question his client was called by senior ranks within the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to act as support for the team that was assigned to carry out the operation.
