Dear Editor,
With reference to Kaieteur News’ article dated 24/02/2019 – ‘Pilot’s recklessness caused crash’- the bereft family members wish to highlight the harmful presumption of this article and question the motive of the source of this unfounded attack on the illustrious reputation of Captain Liverpool.
The proper journalistic conduct would be to pronounce on facts, present possible theories based on past evidence or cautiously speculate based on a trend, but absolutely never to arrive at a definitive conclusion based on anecdotal evidence or an opinion thereof.
This form of mediocre journalism is generally rooted in ‘money over facts’ rationale or even more cynical or criminal agendas.
The reality is that multiple duly authorised investigations are currently ongoing and will produce their findings at an appropriate time.
The traumatised relatives are therefore seeking a retraction and apology.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Karen Liverpool
(Grieving widow)
