-rank under close arrest
A 38-year-old cane harvester is in a critical condition at the Georgetown Public Hospital after he was struck down on Monday night on the Fyrish Public Road in Berbice.
Troy Liverpool, called ‘Lil Man,’ of 22 Queen Street, Courtland Village, Corentyne, was reportedly struck from behind while walking with the mother of his child.
Relatives allege that the driver, identified as Inspector Michael Grant, who is also prosecutor on the Upper Corentyne, attempted to drive away but was stopped by angry onlookers, who forced him to return to the scene.
The rank has been placed under close arrest and his car, a black Toyota NZE (PMM831), has been impounded at the Central Police Station, New Amsterdam.
Police Commissioner Leroy Brumell last night described the incident as “a very serious matter.”
Brumell said that the prosecutor will be removed from the court pending the outcome of the investigation. The top cop said that he understands that the rank was given a breathalyzer test but that the equipment malfunctioned. He said he was also informed that Liverpool was struck from behind.
“This is a serious matter and as long as you commit yourself you have to face the consequences,” Commissioner Brumell asserted.
Ann Crandon, the injured man’s aunt, said that she was informed that the reputed wife was walking in front of him when she heard a loud sound.
The reputed wife alleged that she turned around and saw Liverpool “pitch in the air and fall back on the road.”
The aunt said she was informed that the driver who struck Liverpool drove some 50 feet away from the scene before persons who had witnessed the accident stopped him.
He was reportedly forced to take the injured Liverpool to the New Amsterdam Hospital. He was then taken into police custody.
Owing to the severity of his injuries, Liverpool was then transferred to the Georgetown Hospital.
Irate relatives who converged at the Central Police Station on Monday night said that they asked investigators to conduct a breathalyzer test on the rank who had struck down Liverpool. One relative claimed that ranks ordered them to leave the station compound and wait on the road.
