The Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday denied allegations that it failed to properly investigate an alibi provided for Glaston Henry (aka Gladwin Henry), one of four persons charged this week with the murder of Haresh Singh in September last year.
In a statement released last evening the GPF rejected the alibi provided by attorney Nigel Hughes and declared that the nine “alibi witnesses” who have provided statements are likely to be charged with “attempting to pervert the course of justice”.
During a press conference yesterday Henry’s attorney claimed that he had provided both the police and the Director of Public Prosecutions with evidence that the accused was at his mother’s home several villages away when Singh was murdered on September 9th last year. Hughes said that the morning of Singh’s murder was also the day on which the post-mortem examinations for Isaiah and Joel Henry were conducted. The Henry family, he maintained, had gathered to view the procedures which were broadcast live by Glaston Henry (snr) from Georgetown.
