Leader of the Opposition Aubrey Norton yesterday called for the police officer who fatally shot 23-year-old Quindon Bacchus to be charged with murder.
Norton made the call following Tuesday’s protest calling for justice for Bacchus. The father of one was shot by Police on June 10 at the Haslington New Scheme, East Coast Demerara (ECD). The officer was initially placed on close arrest but on Monday, his mother approached the Court challenging his detention. This resulted in him being placed on open arrest where he was confined to Police Headquarters, Eve Leary.
