Aubrey Norton

While reiterating his party’s call for a national approach to defence and security, Opposition Leader Aubrey Norton is requesting an update on the probe into the helicopter crash which claimed five members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) last year.

At a press conference on Thursday, the Peoples’ National Congress Reform [PNC/R] leader noted that it has been over two months since the crash of the Bell 412 Army helicopter and there has been no update from the government as it relates to the status of these investigations.

“It has been over two months since the crash of the Guyana Defence Force helicopter which tragically took the lives of five Guyanese heroes. On behalf of all Guyanese, we call on the government for an update on the investigation of this incident,” Norton told reporters on Thursday.
