A policeman is now under close arrest after he allegedly sodomised a young male recruit at Police Headquarters, Eve Leary, on Thursday night.
The recruit, this newspaper was reliably informed, received treatment at the Georgetown Hospital for his injuries after the attack.
Reports are that around 9 pm, the recruit was carrying out duties in the compound of the Felix Austin Training School, when he was approached by a drill instructor, who attacked him and carried out the assault.
The incident occurred in an area where the offices of the Police Commissioner and other senior officers are located.
Police sources explained that recruits are sometimes given guard duty, as was the case at the time of the attack. Stabroek News was, however, unable to contact senior police officials for a comment on the attack.
