DIRECTOR of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard, SC, is expected to go on affidavit to confirm that evidence from the committal bundle for three police officers committed to stand trial for misconduct in office has gone missing.

At a hearing before Justice Frank Seepersad on August 25, the DPP’s attorney, Akeenie Murray, admitted that missing evidence from the committal bundle prevented the filing of an indictment. He asked for more time to file an affidavit, which the judge granted until September 29.

Murray said the missing evidence from the committal bundles received from the Judiciary had an impact on the DPP’s ability to assess the evidence to decide on filing an indictment.
