Former Chief Magistrate (ag) K Juman-Yassin (SC) has condemned Friday’s attempt by the police to arrest former Assistant Police Commissioner, Paul Slowe who had turned up at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court to answer to several charges.
In a letter in yesterday’s Sunday Stabroek, Juman-Yassin pointed out that Slowe’s matters had been called some time ago but he was out of Guyana on duty for Cricket West Indies.
“He was not hiding or evading arrest and we all knew where he was. No arrest warrant was issued by any Magistrate for his arrest. Paul Slowe returned to Guyana legally through the Cheddi Jagan International Airport and announced that he would be attending court as summoned.
