Harmon bemoans lack of updates on West Berbice murders
Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon has criticized the Guyana Police Force (GPF) for failing to regularly update the public on the investigations of the murders of Isaiah and Joel Henry and Haresh Singh.
“I am in receipt of information that the investigators from the Regional Security System that were meant to assist in the investigation have expressed some frustration in cooperation and timely release of information by the senior ranks of the CID,” Harmon told a press conference on Monday, adding that it appears the GPF sees no urgency in solving these heinous murders and bringing justice to the families.
He concluded by calling for an urgent update from the Minister of Home Affairs on these murders and for regular public updates on this matter until justice is served.
Last Wednesday Acting Commissioner of Police Nigel Hoppie said that investigators are currently pursuing new leads as they continue to investigate the murders of the teenagers who were killed more than a month ago at Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice (WCB).
While he refused to divulge any other details, Hoppie reiterated that no stone will be left unturned during the investigation.
“There are efforts ongoing to ensure that no stone is left unturned as we pursue this matter… I have stated earlier and I would like to reiterate that no stone will be left unturned in addressing this matter,” he said.
Hoppie made this disclosure on the sidelines of the commissioning of the Brickdam Police Station lockups.
