A man, who allegedly made death threats to Leader of the Opposition Bharrat Jadgeo and other members of the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) on Facebook, was arrested yesterday.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed yesterday afternoon that the man, who has been identified as Tameshwar Beekham was taken into custody yesterday at Springlands, Corentyne, Berbice.
If there is enough evidence to link Beekham to the crime he can be charged under the Racial Hostility Act with attempting to incite excitement, hostility or ill-will on grounds of race.
