New CCTV footage challenges police account of Kitty shooting involving Mohamed

(Kaieteur News) – Newly surfaced surveillance footage of the 12th October shooting incident on Barr Street, Kitty, has intensified public scrutiny, prompting legal professionals, politicians and civil society leaders to call for an independent investigation into Senior Superintendent Prem Narine and the Guyana Police Force (GPF).

The controversy deepened after head of the Guyana Police Force’s Special Branch Unit, Senior Superintendent Prem Narine, claimed that he was shot at first, following reports that police ranks opened fire on Opposition Leader Azruddin Mohamed.

Kaieteur News had earlier reported that the GPF initially failed to respond to claims that its ranks had shot at Mohamed while he was driving past Narine’s residence to record what he said was the misuse of state resources through the provision of heavy police security at a private property.
