Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan yesterday disclosed that no reasons were given by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for the directive to discontinue the private criminal charge against Head of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Wendell Blanhum over statements he made about Detective Sergeant Dion Bascom.
The magistrate made the disclosure to Bascom’s attorney, Nigel Hughes, at a hearing set to deal with the charges laid against the former.
Bascom appeared in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court yesterday for full disclosure on three cybercrime charges brought against him by the Guyana Police Force (GPF).
