Mentally-ill man shot after mistaken for prison escapee

http://www.kaieteurnewsonline....-for-prison-escapee/

Up to press time, doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital were preparing to operate on a 36-year-old man who was shot by the police yesterday in Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD).

The victim, Charles Peters of Lot 184 Melanie, East Coast Demerara, and a former rank from the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) was shot to the right arm and back around 12:30 hrs.

According to information received, the police received information that an “untidy looking” man, wearing old clothes, with what seemed to be mud on his skin, was seen in Annandale.

Ranks immediately went to the location where they saw the individual, who began running from them—this resulted in the lawmen opening fire and hitting the man. Upon getting a closer look, residents in the area later identified the victim as someone of unsound mind who did odd jobs for persons in the same village he was shot.

One of the man’s siblings, who declined to give her name, said that after leaving the army, the father of two went to neighbouring Suriname to spend some time. It was when he returned to Guyana that he developed mental issues. She could not say what really transpired, other than receiving a call from someone who informed her that the man had been shot.

Ranks from the Guyana Police Force’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) are investigating the matter. At least two ranks were seen visiting the former GDF rank at the hospital, but he was unconscious.

Divisional commander, Calvin Brutus could not be reached for a comment yesterday, but ranks in his division confirmed that OPR is dealing with the matter.

Meanwhile, heavily-armed police ranks and soldiers were called to the Camp Street Prison around 08:30 yesterday after it was reported that the 86 high-profile inmates taken there Monday night from the pasture at the Lusignan Prison, were trying to break out.

The inmates are being housed in the concrete building, which was renovated after the fire on July 09, last—it was the only standing structure after the blaze was extinguished. It is unclear as to what led to the inmates behaving in such a disorderly manner yesterday.

According to information received, the prisoners removed mattresses from iron beds in the cells and started banging at the walls of the building and threatening to burn the prison once again.

When this newspaper arrived yesterday, fire tenders were seen at the four corners of the prison as well as soldiers and heavily-armed police ranks.

Kaieteur News was informed that four prisoners, who were identified as the ring leaders, were subsequently placed in one cell where they were given mattresses with no frames.

The 86 prisoners were taken to Camp Street after 13 of their fellow inmates dug their way out of the pasture at Lusignan Prison sometime between Sunday night and Monday morning.

Seven of those inmates have since been recaptured.

Clonbrook police shooting; man succumbs

Doctors at the Georgetown Public Hospital have failed in their battle to save the life of Charles Peters.

The 36 year old father of two was shot in Clonbrook on Tuesday afternoon by a police rank who was attempting to carry out a search on him.

Relatives said that the police first took the man for an escapee, but, the police have since denied that calim.

Peters who once served as a member of the Guyana Defence Force died this morning sometime between 01:00and 02:00hrs.

black men in guyana should avoid wearing old clothes and ensure there is no mud on their bodies when walking on the road. some people will tip off the police. thats what i gather from the newspaper report. some people think the escapees will keep on their old clothes and dont wash off their mud. the police dont think.

This has nothing to do with Black or Indian, old clothe or uncleanliness. This is called poor judgment by the undisciplined forces. They are more inclined to kill an innocent civilian than a criminal. Granger law is playing out here.

Why running and killing this unfortunate handicapped man? How sad that they used their authority to murder a mentally ill man.They should have and could have spent that time running and killing the escaped criminals from the zoo. I guess it was easy pickings.

Why no one is crying "extra-judicial killing?"

There is no value to human life. Even the magistrates lack humanity in their judgements.

Looks like we got a lot smarter people in Canje Mad House. I have to confirm this with Warria...a man with personal experience.

Skelly, that place is ready to fall apart any day now. The previous administration did not maintain the residences and the current regime is not any better. 

Next breakout will be the Mad house???

Since the last regime, the doors don't work and the inmates are freed to beg for food. Look at what the PPP/C did to the old New Amsterdam Hospital.

It's unfortunate to say many of our Indians who supported the coalition government are regretful and shameful to come forward and say they made a grave mistake to recreating the Burnham era. Mitwah is one of them.

It appears you get a laugh at anything or nothing these days. Is that what your life has become since the AFC screwed up and leave you hanging, Mitwahji?

I know about the third force. I don't care about the PPP, but anyone besides the Coalition would make me a happy man.

Bhai Ramjattan wasn't sleeping, de man was praying.  When I read the title of this thread I thought Deryck Rugbeer was the victim.  Where is my shadow KP?

Politics aside, they should set priorities to enrich the lives of the unfortunate people; not themselves. This should be true for PPP, PNC, APNU and any other Night Bus party that might think of representing the Guyanese people.

In the 70's when Mr. Singh was the administrator, the place was like a resort. There was a working cinema and the cricket ground was well maintained.
