The Guyana Defence Force (GDF) in a statement yesterday refuted a report in the Kaieteur News that Tyrone Pollard called `Theodoris’ who was shot dead in Buxton a week ago by members of the Joint Services, was an ex-soldier.
The statement read that the GDF “unequivocally refutes the allegation in an article captioned, `Police still testing weapons recovered from slain Buxtonian’, as published on page 6 in the Kaieteur News edition dated Thursday March 27. The inaccuracy inferred that Tyrone Pollard was an ex-soldier of the Force”.
GDF said that a thorough examination of its records showed that the man was never enlisted or was associated in any way with the Force.
