‘Go to the grave’ remarks had nothing to do with ‘Sash’ Sawh killing – Jagdeo

Bharrat Jagdeo

PPP General Secretary Bharrat Jagdeo on Thursday said that remarks he made about taking secrets to the grave had nothing to do with information on killings during the 2002-9 crime wave but related to the need to protect the identities of persons who provided important information.

At a press conference at Freedom House, Jagdeo was responding to a letter from the family of PPP/C Minister Satyadeow `Sash’ Sawh who was gunned down along with relatives and an employee in 2006.

Sawh’s son, Roger had penned a letter in Thursday’s edition of Stabroek News expressing concern that Jagdeo’s “go to the grave” remarks at a night of reflection for the late Dr Roger Luncheon pertained to material information about the deaths from that period.
