Bartica trio awaiting police action on alleged assault by prison officers

The Bartica couple and a female relative who were allegedly assaulted on Friday, November 11, by two prison officers from the Mazaruni Prison while hanging out at Bushy Bar in Bartica, Region Seven, are still awaiting results from the investigation that was launched in the matter.

When contacted, the common-law-wife, Orlene Lyte, said that Senior Superintendent Dion Moore had indicated that the file containing the facts of the investigation has been sent down to Georgetown and as soon as it returns he will contact the family.

Stabroek News was able to confirm with Moore yesterday that the file was indeed sent to the office of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for advice and as soon as it comes back, he will issue an update.
