The case file in relation to the fatal shooting of fisherman, Kishan Budburgh and police Corporal Dwayne McPherson which occurred at Mahaicony on Sunday is currently with the Head of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).
Stabroek News was yesterday informed that as the investigation continues, two police ranks remain under close arrest.
Budburgh and McPherson were shot and killed around 00:30hrs during a police operation at Huntley, Mahaicony.
Autopsies later showed that Budburgh was shot three times while McPherson sustained two gunshot wounds.
The police had promised a comprehensive investigation into the death of the men. They had also said that they intend to provide “regular” updates as the investigation progresses. However, since the initial release, no update has been provided to the media.
Stabroek News was reliably informed that McPherson and two other ranks attached to the Mahaicony Police Station were responding to a report of a stabbing involving Budburgh, his brothers and another male.
In their bid to arrest Budburgh, a scuffle reportedly ensued during which Budburgh was shot at least three time. McPherson was initially shot followed by Budburgh.
In an interview with Stabroek News on Monday night, Budburgh’s mother, Beverly Dundas said she is determined to secure justice. She said the manner in which her son was shot is unacceptable. “I really hurt. Me feel really hurt. I want something come out me son story cause me son can’t go down suh,”she said.
