The Guyana Police Force (GPF) yesterday defended the arrest of six women who claimed to be alibi witnesses for Glaston Henry Jnr who has been charged with the murder of Haresh Singh which occurred in September last year.
In a statement, the GPF was responding to a news item in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek under the caption `Human Rights body says arrest of potential alibi witnesses smacks of police abuse.’
“The arrest and detention of… the women… is shocking…Everything surrounding this event smacks of malicious abuse of police powers,” the Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) said in a statement on Saturday.
