The probe into the fatal shooting of Devon Hansraj, the teenager who was a part of the violent post-elections protests in Cotton Tree Village, West Coast Berbice in early March was “poorly” conducted and as such the police were asked to conduct further investigations, the Chambers of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) yesterday said.
The DPP’s statement was prompted by an article headlined `Cops awaiting legal advice on fatal shooting of elections protester’ which was published in yesterday’s edition of Stabroek News.
According to the statement, the case file in the matter was sent by the police to the DPP’s Chambers for legal advice on April 27th, 2020.
