APNU to provide legal team for Agricola youths arrested in shootout

Georgetown : Opposition leader Brigadier David called for an inquest into the death of 17 year old Shaquille Grant called “Georgie” and committed that legal officers from APNU would work assiduously to secure the pre-trial liberty of those youths who are incarcerated. These youths would be guaranteed legal representation from the APNU.

Attorney-at-Law, Mr. James Bond, MP, was tasked with providing legal services for the four young men that are incarcerated and has since visited them at the Brickdam lockups where he interviewed them. He also raised with Senior Superintendant Ramsay, the Officer in Charge of Crime for “A” Division, the question of bail for the young men, but Officer Ramsay has indicated that an identification parade will first have to be conducted, after the question of bail would be addressed.

 Grant was shot while Romel Bollers was injured and three others arrested after police engaged in an exchange of gunfire at Agricola Tuesday last. Several residents have since refute the police statement of an “exchange of gunfire” rather claiming the teen was killed extra judicial.
