Questions are being raised about the treatment of prisoners in custody after high-profile accused Nigel Bounty Pinder was seen crawling into the Oistins Magistrates’ Court last week, despite reportedly requiring a wheelchair and medical care.

Pinder, who is facing multiple murder and conspiracy to murder charges, was recorded crawling out of the prison van and dragging himself into the court.

Now Senior Counsel Angella Mitchell-Gittens has sent letters demanded answers from the Superintendent of Prisons and the Minister of Home Affairs about the incident.
