Investigators have released the two police ranks and the ex-policeman that self-confessed hit man and informant, Lennox Wayne, has implicated in the killing of five civilians.
But a file is to be sent “very soon” to the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to ascertain whether charges could be leveled on the trio.
The ranks were taken into custody on Thursday, after investigators arranged a confrontation between the trio and Wayne, also called ‘Two Colours’, at CID Headquarters, Eve Leary.
During the arranged confrontation, Wayne reportedly repeated his claims that the ranks had shot and killed five unarmed civilians in October and in December 2009, while claiming that the men were robbery suspects who were slain during shootouts.
In turn, the ranks reportedly stuck to their story that the men were robbery suspects who had shot at them.
On October 12, 2013, cousins Jermaine Canterbury, 21, and Mark Anthony Joseph, called ‘Two Grand’, 19, and Romario Gouveia, 19, all residents of Albouystown, were slain during what police said was a shootout near the K&VC Hotel in South Road.
On December 7, 2013, Paul Bascom, a resident of Diamond Housing Scheme, and Alberto Grant, 28, called Alberto Mustapha, and Mukie, ,of Lot 299 Meadow Brook Gardens, were killed during an alleged 20-minute shootout with police at a Grove, East Bank Demerara residence.
Wayne has claimed that he was present when the South Road trio was shot, and it was he who had informed the ranks that the suspects were planning a robbery.
But he also claimed that he had no idea that the suspects would have been executed.
He claimed that some of the suspects were mowed down even as they had their hands raised in surrender.
He said that one of the ranks brought a .38 revolver in a haversack to the scene of the ‘shootout’. The police reportedly later claimed that this weapon was retrieved after the ‘shootout.’
At present, Wayne is on remand, having been charged for the July 2014 murder of Lusignan Cosmetologist, Ashmini Harriram.
