Mohamed, staff remain in custody

(Kaieteur News) – Opposition Leader, Azruddin Mohamed and two members of his staff remain in police custody as forensic investigations intensify following Monday night’s shooting incident outside the Kitty residence of a senior police officer.

Authorities have confirmed that Mohamed, along with staff members Eugene Thorne and Mario Mohamed, were swabbed for gun powder residue (GSR) in the wake of the October 12 confrontation. However, laboratory results remain outstanding, and critical questions linger over whether forensic fingerprinting was performed on the firearm recovered by law enforcement.
