The file on the investigation of a shooting that took place at the Lusignan Golf Club on Easter Sunday has been sent for legal advice, according to ‘C’ Division Police Commander, Calvin Brutus.
Brutus when contacted for an update on the matter, said the file was sent for advice and they are awaiting a response.
An investigation was launched into the shooting on the golf club premises during a private event when a report surfaced on social media.
The commander in a previous report had told Stabroek News that an individual had come forward and admitted to firing shots during the private event.
In the initial stages of the investigation, the individual in his statement to the investigators, said he discharged several rounds at a snake.
The president of the club, Alim Hussain, as well as a promoter of the event, had both denied knowledge of a patron indiscriminately discharging rounds on Easter Sunday during a private event. A source told Stabroek News that the shooting occurred on Easter Sunday between 6:30 pm and 7 pm.
According to the information shared, a patron, who was heavily intoxicated, discharged several rounds in the presence of other persons.
Following the controversy surrounding the shooting, the club’s Vice President, Paton George, resigned with immediate effect, in light of what he said was the executive trying to cover up the incident.
“…I can no longer in good conscience be a part of a committee run amok,” George wrote to members, informing them of his decision in April.
“The story of the shooting was conveyed to me as fact. Now, in the aftermath, nobody knows anything. That is bad enough, but to further add insult to injury by continuing with business as usual is insulting to the general membership,” George said in his statement to members.
