Georgetown: Former ‘Best Cop’ Police Detective, Corporal Derwin Eastman and another police detective Jemison Williams were both charged and remanded to prison Thursday for the murder of businessman, Godfrey Scipio called “Saga”.
Godfrey Scipio was killed on October 12, 2017 at Stanley Place and David Street, Kitty while leaving a hotel in the company of a woman. The two policemen were charged based on allegation made by the alleged hit-man and ex-convict, Aubrey Bobb, that he was hired and given the gun by Eastman to commit the act.
The alleged murderer is said to have claimed that the police corporal who is an intelligence rank provided him with the firearm that was used to kill Scipio.
City Magistrate, Judy Latchman remanded the duo to prison until December 5, 2017, but not before asking Police Prosecutor, Stephen Telford to address concerns by the defence lawyers about the safety of their clients.
Telford told the court that those concerns would have to be dealt with by the prison authorities.
The prosecutor also gave an undertaking to ensure that an alleged threat against Eastman by an identifiable person again is investigated.
Attorney-at-Law, Nigel Hughes represented Eastman while attorney Dexter Todd represented Williams.
Investigators also indicated that the motive for the killing of popular businessman appears to be execution instead of robbery as investigators discovered it may be linked to the recapture of notorious prison escapee, Royden Williams.
Eastman and Williams are said to be the mastermind behind the murder of Godfrey Scipio.
