Dear Editor,
In your report on Friday October 30, 2009, to wit,
Police visit Corbin for info on alleged Roger Khan murders
you commented that (quote)
“Selman recalled that in a full-page advertisement in the local newspapers,
Khan had announced that he was carrying out these killings in collaboration
with the security forces-to which the police force has not issued a denial to date.”
My enquiries of your paper (and hopefully the Editor could respond):
1. in which newspapers did such full-page advertisements appear?
2. on what dates?
3. is your newspaper free to print that advertisement ? (in miniature form I
would think) and would your newspaper print it if permissible?
I find this a startling comment and as much as I would like to see the advertisement, I feel that I could safely conclude that the police were not in the least interested in pursuing Roger Khan.
They probably knew that he was more powerful and more efficient
than they were.
One has to yield to superiority, I would think.
Yours faithfully,
Carl Veecock
Editor’s note: The advertisements were published in the Kaieteur News. While Ms Selman referred to murders, Mr Khan’s advertisement simply referred to fighting crime and criminals. We shall revisit the ad in a news item shortly.
