The monstrous murders of cousins Isaiah and Joel Henry over the weekend must be rapidly investigated by the police and the perpetrators brought swiftly to justice. The only way in which this can be done is if investigators are permitted to carry out their work unhindered. The Guyana Police Force must also employ the full array of its investigative repertoire including DNA testing and other forensic tools to ensure that an iron-clad case is built.
In the meanwhile, and as a mark of ultimate respect for the grieving families, those seeking to make political hay from these heinous killings should desist from doing so. Those who feel aggrieved and are protesting must do so without breaking the law and trespassing on the rights of others. It is important that the rule of law prevails at all levels in this matter.
