The police have been advised by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to charge the suspect in the rape of a mentally challenged Berbice teen, according to Crime Chief Seelall Persaud.
Persaud told Stabroek News yesterday that the DPP had returned the file to the police with advice to further investigate “minor things” and to charge.
On Monday, Persaud had said that the file was still with the DPP but this was denied by the DPP’s Chambers in a press release issued yesterday.
The press release stated that the file was received by the Chambers on February 12.
