BERBICE Police are awaiting advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in relation to an alleged sodomy committed on a 40-year-old remand prisoner who hails from the Amerindian Reservation of Orealla.

Astonishingly, this offence was reportedly committed by two high-profile remand prisoners on June 25, last behind the walls of the New Amsterdam Prison.

The alleged victim, experiencing tremendous discomfort, reported the dastardly act to wardens at a later date, confessing that he was greatly ashamed to reveal the incident.

His alleged attackers, aged 28 and 23 years old, are respectively facing charges of robbery-under-arms and break-and-enter and larceny.

The victim’s account of events is that on June 25, they were in the cell when the 23-year-old viced him whilst his fellow inmate removed his pants and sodomised him.

Although an alarm was not raised, a report was made to wardens on the following morning, and the victim was taken to the New Amsterdam Hospital, where a medical practitioner confirmed that he had been sexually violated.

According to information received, the victim was recently remanded following charges of attempted rape.
