Describing the allegations levelled by police Sergeant Dion Bascom as “malicious and untrue”, the Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday again denied there had been any cover-up in the murder probe of Ricardo Fagundes and said that it was convicted drug trafficker, Roger Khan who provided the names of two suspects who allegedly committed the crime.

“The Guyana Police Force wishes to submit that Mr Bascom is not being honest and he is manufacturing false or concocted information out of malice against members of the Guyana Police Force and it all stemmed from his arrest and detention by CANU (Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit ) investigators,” Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum yesterday afternoon told reporters.
