EAST Canje, Berbice teen Malcolm Henry was on Tuesday night shot by a police after he allegedly resisted lawmen who were carrying out a search on his person.The 18-year-old, of Lot 319 Welfare Street, Canefield, East Canje, Berbice, was allegedly with his mother, Roxanne Prince, on their bridge when the lawmen pulled up in a vehicle.

They approached Henry, whom his mother said refused to allow them to search his pockets.

“They carry he to their vehicle and put his hands in the air. They then search him; but when the one police go to put his hand in his pocket, he tell them that they can’t do that,” Prince related.

Prince alleges that police have been targeting her son for some time now. She contends that some 13 charges were stacked against him last year, but they were all dismissed for the lack of evidence.
