POLICE Crime Chief Seelall Persaud said yesterday that investigations into the Agricola shooting in which teenager Shaquille Grant was killed and his friend, Romel Bollers wounded, are expected to be completed today.
He maintained that the police are in charge of the probe and upon its completion, the file will be sent to the Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority, Justice Cecil Kennard before being forwarded to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack, for advice.
The Deputy Commissioner (Law Enforcement) insisted that, so far, the matter is still being dealt with by the police and they will be advised on the necessary course of action by the DPP.
Ten days ago, Grant, 17, was fatally shot when a party of policemen carried out a raid in Agricola, Greater Georgetown and the injured Bollers was arrested among three others, while they were under a shed in the community.
Last week when Grant’s relatives and residents staged a picketing exercise outside the office of Acting Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell, at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, the latter promised that justice can prevail.
