The investigation into the incident which led to the death of special Lance Corporal Don Carlos Alleyne is ongoing, as the police seek legal advice.
Twenty-five-year-old Alleyne succumbed at the Georgetown Public Hospital two weeks ago, after allegedly being beaten by a colleague, while he was stationed at the Special Constabulary Headquarters, Princes Street.
It was previously reported that persons involved in the incident were under close arrest.
When Stabroek News contacted Commander of ‘A’ Division, Marlon Chapman yesterday, he stated that the police are currently seeking legal advice on the matter.
According to the results of a post-mortem examination, the cause of death was given as blunt trauma to the brain, along with haemorrhaging of the brain.
Family members of Alleyne, who last week spoke with Stabroek News, called for justice, as they believed that he was beaten by more than one of his colleagues. Stabroek News contacted relatives on Monday and they again stated that they have not gotten updates from the police in relation to the matter.
Previous reports stated that relatives of the Special Lance Corporal only found out about his death three days after. Alleyne’s mother, Jocelyn Ambrose, stated that she was told that he was beaten and later locked in a room but was released after begging to seek medical attention.
Relatives later found out that Alleyne went to the GPHC alone, without the company of any of his colleagues.
