Georgetown : President Donald Ramotar has strongly condemned the killing of political activist, Courtney Crum-Ewing, as he addressed officers of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) during the opening of their annual conference yesterday.
The president urged the force’s high command to do whatever it took to find those responsible for the former army officer and recent remigrant’s demise, in Diamond Housing scheme on Tuesday evening.
“Leave no stone unturned, in finding those who perpetuated this crime, and if necessary, if it exists to find the intellectual authors of this criminal act that was committed,” he stated.
Noting that some persons have since described Ewing’s killing as “the first for the political season”, President Ramotar said that if they have information, it should be reported to the GPF. “The police must deal with this matter otherwise what they are saying could be construed as being instigation to violence in our country. They must come to the organisation that is responsible and let them deal with this issue”.
Following the killing of the activist, the Ministry of Home Affairs has urged the GPF to do all that it can to apprehend the killer(s) and bring them to justice.
