A witness on Monday denied telling police that he was a supporter of Nizam Khan, the man accused of offering to pay for the assassination of President David Granger, and he denounced a claim that he was seen joining a car with Khan last week as a lie.
Leon Baldeo issued the denials when he faced the Commission of Inquiry investigating the plot and the police’s handling of the probe.
Baldeo, a friend of Andrif Gillard, the man who claimed Khan offered him money to kill Granger, was one of six witnesses who testified on Monday at a public hearing at the Department of the Public Service on Waterloo Street.
