Three versions of Kitty shooting emerge

(Kaieteur News) – Police filings relating to the October 12, 2026, midnight shooting on Barr Street have revealed differences between accounts contained in sworn statements, police press releases and a statement issued by the Government of Guyana.

The documents relate to the confrontation involving Senior Superintendent of Police and Head of Special Branch, Prem Narine, and a motor car carrying Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed, Mario Mohamed and Eugene Thorne. A review of the records identifies differences in the accounts of where the occupants were seated, when and where the vehicle was searched, the recovery of ballistic evidence and the sequence of events.

One of the discrepancies concerns the seating arrangements of the three occupants. A statement issued by the government said Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed was found in the back seat of the vehicle, while his two companions occupied the front seats.
