Things took a different turn at the Springlands Magistrate Court on Friday at the hearing into the execution-style killing of police detective, Jirbahan Dianand, who was attached to Moleson Creek Outpost.
Azam Bacchus, 18, of New Scheme Number 72 Village, Corentyne, who confessed on November 13, 2012 that his uncle, Salim Bacchus, called Black Salim, a businessman of 39 D Line Path Corriverton, Corentyne had shot the detective twice in his head after a money deal went sour, offered another story.
On Friday, Azam Bacchus changed his statement. He claimed that the police beat that confession out of him.
Azam Bacchus was arrested and charged for carjacking and attempted murder of Jermain Rover who was shot in his face and robbed of his car on Saturday November 10, 2012 while leaving a gas station in Corriverton.
His two other accomplices are also charged and are in custody.
Salim Bacchus on the other hand was arrested on November 20, 2012 after he turned himself in at the Central Police Station in New Amsterdam in company of his lawyer attorney Ramesh Rajkumar. A wanted bulletin had been issued for him.
He faced court in New Amsterdam on November 23, 2012 before magistrate Adela Nagamootoo and was charged for the murder of the late detective.
Salim Bacchus is being represented by attorneys Mursaline Bacchus and Ramesh Rajkumar and Azam Bacchus by Charrandass Persaud.
The preliminary inquiry will continue on April 18.
