The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack, SC, last week discontinued the charge of discharging a loaded firearm with intent against businessman Mohamed Fawaz Bacchus, who last year had allegedly fired at a man, his son and his daughter-in-law.
Public Relations Officer of the DPP’s office, Liz Rahaman, confirmed to Stabroek News yesterday that the DPP discontinued the matter, adding that it was based on the facts of the case.
A letter written on April 22nd by the DPP and addressed to the Suddie Magistrate Tamieka Clarke, and which was seen by this newspaper, stated that in exercise of the powers conferred on her by Article 187 (1) (c ) of the Constitution she had discontinued the matter.
