The Guyana Police Force said it will now be taking steps to pursue the witnesses who could alibi Gladstone Henry called Gladwin Henry, a suspect in the murder of West Coast Berbice teenager, Haresh Singh.
The police force’s statement comes after a press conference held by Attorney for the Henry family, Nigel Hughes on Thursday. Further, attorneys and relatives of the men only knew that they were being charged when they were already in the courtroom.
The police are also denying allegations made by Hughes that insufficient investigation was done as it relates to the purported alibi witnesses.
