Bryan Mackintosh, the Turkeyen, East Coast Demerara resident who is accused of threatening several public officials during a live video broadcast on popular social media site, Facebook, earlier this week, was expected to be released on station bail last evening.
Sunday Stabroek was reliably informed that arrangements were being made last evening for Mackintosh to be placed on station bail as the investigation continues.
In a press release, police spokesman Jairam Ramlakhan confirmed that Mackintosh, also known as ‘Max’, turned himself in at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters, Eve Leary, on Friday.
He was accompanied by his lawyer, Ramlakhan noted. The police had said that an “immediate” investigation was launched after the video, in which “disparaging” remarks and threats were made to several public officials, was posted on Facebook.
In the video seen by this newspaper, Mackintosh was heard mentioning the names of attorney James Bond, Director General in the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon, social activist Mark Benschop and Minister of Legal Affairs Basil Williams.
At the time when the comments were made, Mackintosh was passing the APNU+AFC campaign headquarters at Lamaha Street.
