I REFER to Freddie Kissoon’s column in the February 10, 2015 edition of the Kaieteur News. I wish to make clear the reason why I wrote my letter on May 17, 2013. I wrote that letter to let the public know that my father was not killed in an accident; and that in fact he was murdered. It was never my intention to paint a perfect picture of him. All I wanted, and still want, is justice for him. He deserves that much. I do not know which case Mr. Kissoon was referring to; and neither does it matter. I am in no position to comment on any of the cases that my father was involved in, because he never disclosed any information to me. My dad made mistakes like every other human being; but to imply that he deserved what he got is both insensitive and brutish.

To set the record straight, my father avidly spoke out against the PPP and the PNC; and to say that he wanted to benefit from the PPP is absolute rubbish. I understand that Mr. Kissoon has a column, and that he needs to fill it with articles to entertain his readers. I am simply a grieving daughter, pleading for justice to be meted out against the perpetrators of the murder of my father.
To take what I said and twist it for his own personal gain clearly shows the type of individual he is. You, Mr. Kissoon, have crossed that thin line, and I am now convinced that you are the definition of that lower class of animal to which you refer.
My dad’s death was over two years ago; and not a day goes by that I do not think of him and what he had to endure. It is interesting that Mr. Kissoon waited almost two years to make his snide comments; and even more interesting that he never spoke ill of my father when he was alive, when he would have been able to defend himself. You, Mr. Kissoon, are a coward! It is evident that you are all dried up and looking for your last five minutes of fame. The few who bother to read your column, perhaps for comic relief, are too smart to buy the trash that you are selling.
