Godfrey Carrington, a 59-year-old farmer of Lot 71 Unity Street, La Grange, West Bank Demerara, who was held for questioning in relation to the discovery of the charred remains of Shaquille Jones known as “Botha” was last month placed on $1 million bail with the condition that he reports to the police periodically.
This is as a result of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) advising the police to continue investigations, Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum stated yesterday when asked for an update on the matter. Blanhum also said that investigators are currently awaiting the DNA analysis report for Jones.
Stabroek News had earlier reported that the Crime Chief had confirmed that an investigation had been launched and the matter was being treated as manslaughter.
