TWO police officers charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of public justice in relation to an alleged 2019 offence were discharged by a Chaguanas magistrate, who held there was no evidence to support the allegations.

On August 7, Magistrate Sanara Toon upheld no-case submissions made by the officers’ attorneys, finding that there was insufficient evidence to support the charges against Insp Rajesh Gokool and Sgt Ken Ali.

Prosecutors had alleged that on November 8, 2019, the two officers went to a home in Carapichaima to search for firearms and ammunition. A firearm, ammunition, a quantity of narcotics, and a black 16-channel HikVision DVR were reportedly seized. The DVR has allegedly not been accounted for.
