The family of Rashley Prass who the police said was killed in a shoot-out in the Canje Creek on Wednesday are still pressing for answers on his death.
Prass, also known as ‘Sickhead’, was allegedly involved in the New Amsterdam post office robbery that left postal worker Germin Forde dead.
Police said they had been tipped off about Prass’ presence at Bush Nai Nai, Canje Creek. A police source said that when they entered the area at around 4 am there was a confrontation between the Joint Services ranks and ‘Sickhead.’ According to the police, Prass was fatally shot in the process. A 9mm pistol with 19 matching rounds, four spent shells, a 16-gauge single barrel shotgun with four matching cartridges, and the apron part of a shotgun were discovered by the ranks at the scene.
A family member who spoke to Stabroek News said there were wounds on Prass’ body inconsistent with the report which was issued by the police and they want answers.
