Calls Grow for Probe Into Mohamed/Narine Shooting Incident

By Mark DaCosta- Calls are mounting for an independent, transparent investigation into the gunfire in Kitty late on October 12 and into the early hours of October 13, with activist and social commentator Egland Gomes among those demanding accountability.

Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed has described the incident as an attempt on his life, while police say a firearm was recovered from his vehicle. The sharply conflicting accounts demand a credible investigation that establishes the facts, identifies any wrongdoing and protects public confidence in the rule of law.
