KENRICK Light (no address given), accused in the Goate Creek, Region 7 murder of Osman Fiedtkou, which allegedly occurred between July 9 and 13, complained to Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry, on Thursday last, that he does not agree with particulars of the statement a police rank had written on his behalf.

Light claimed he told the police that he could neither read nor write, and had asked the police to wait until his lawyer arrived before taking any statement from him, but the officer allegedly told Light that he would write the statement for him.

Light said the rank wrote his own date, and he did not agree with the statement when the rank reread it to him.

Police Prosecutor Michael Grant did not detail the prosecution’s facts to the court, but he asked for a short report date after informing the court that there were two points raised by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) that needed to be clarified.

Light’s matter was transferred from that Georgetown Magistrate’s Court to the Bartica Magistrate’s Court for July 30, and he was not required to plead to the capital offence.
