Dear Editor,
The Stabroek News item in the Wednesday, March 5 edition, “Freed accomplice was 13 during Lusignan massacre –sources,” have failed to capture some angles in the saga of Dwane Williams, the youth who confessed to participation in the Lusignan massacre
As the seniors at the Stabroek News would know, editors and journalists must take considerable time in making decisions as to print what dubious, infamous or people with criminal records say to them. These people could be self-serving. The Stabroek News report mentioned that then Police Commissioner, Henry Greene had stated that the police had an eyewitness to the Linden Creek murders and it can now be said that he was referring to Dwane Wiliams
But was Greene being honest? When the head of the mining camp, Leonard Arokium whose relatives were victims of the killings, wanted to meet with the press to show them using logistical maps that the Fineman gang could not have done the killings, he requested to see me. I facilitated Stabroek News into the meeting and we met at the office of the Catholic Standard editor, Colin Smith
From the maps laid out by Arokium, I was convinced that at the time the joint patrol saw the Fineman gang at Christmas Falls to the time the murders occurred at Lindo Creek, it was not possible for the gang to have traversed such primitive, almost impassable terrain in that short space of time. I believe most media operatives hold the view that the mayhem was done by state security either through a mistake which was then covered up or Arokium’s theory that a robbery took place and dead men cannot reveal identities
What Henry Greene did (my opinion) is to claim discovery of an eyewitness to remove suspicion from the joint patrol. I need to remind media operatives that a soldier has come forward to say he knows what happened at Lindo Creek. What has happened to that soldier since remains a mystery?
Back to Greene. Was he a credible person? Just consult the American Embassy cables on him as contained in the Wikileaks release. Mr. Simmels, Roger Khan’s lawyer openly stated that Khan was involved in tapping Commissioner Felix’s phone and it was done through Mr. Greene. Mr. Greene was a facilitator of drug barons in this country according to dispatches by the US Embassy who requested he not be made Commissioner.
At the time of his death he accumulated a vast fortune information on which is contained in court documents in litigation among his relatives for his estate. Should the media trust what this man said? Mr. Greene was recommended to be charged for rape by the DPP. Surely, it is taking journalistic investigations into questionable directions to rely on the word of such a tainted, flawed, depraved citizen of this land.
The news item also mentioned that Williams was found wandering at Lindo Creek and was picked up by the joint patrol. Anyone media operative who investigated the Buxton saga from 2002 to 2005 would know that makes no sense. Small boys were part of the Buxton gang and they were cruel, indoctrinated people who acted far beyond their age. Why would Fineman’s marauders go to Lindo Creek, murder about a dozen miners and when they left, one of the boys was got lost?
In that terrain, he had to be missed minutes after the gang hit the trail to their eventual exit. And why would they leave without marshalling their troops out of Lindo Creek? Was Fineman’s cabal so incompetent?
And which other baby face killer from the cabal was found wandering around the place after the shooting sprees? With due respect to a sister newspaper, SN’s story has several weak points that take away from the overall integrity of the report
