CITY Magistrate Judy Latchman on Friday adjourned the court matter against Kwame McCoy and two others charged with assaulting Freddie Kissoon. Police say investigations are still ongoing.After being released on $100,000 bail each last month, McCoy, former Liaison Officer under the PPP government; self-confessed death squad member Sean Hinds; and Opposition Executive Jason Abdulla made their second court appearance at the city court.

On February 22, McCoy (40), of Diamond, East Bank Demerara; Hinds (51) of Albouystown, Georgetown; and Abdulla, (34) of Barr Street, Kitty, Georgetown were not required to plead to the indictable charge, which alleged that on May 24, 2010 they assaulted Kissoon.

However, at yesterday arraignment, Magistrate Latchman was told by Corporal Keri Boswick that investigations were still ongoing, which rendered the prosecution’s files incomplete. The matter was adjourned until April 3 for report.

On May 24, 2010, at about 19:00 hrs, Kissoon had just emerged from Nigel’s Supermarket on Robb Street, Georgetown and had already entered his vehicle when a man walked up to him and threw fecal matter in his face. Kissoon managed to drive behind the perpetrator, who ran north along Light Street then west into North Road, before jumping into a waiting white AT 192 Toyota Carina motorcar and escaping. A soiled Kissoon tried to intercept the car but backed off to avoid a collision.

The case had gone cold in the years that followed, but last month the case took a dramatic turn. Hinds has provided security services to a number of PPP personalities. Abdulla also worked at the Office of the President, and is attached to the PPP’s Freedom House Headquarters on Robb Street.
