(Kaieteur News) – There is a strange argument now circulating in relation to the three men charged with murder arising from the sinking of the M.V. Barima. It is being contended that because a Commission of Inquiry is about to begin its work, the criminal proceedings should not, or perhaps cannot, proceed at the same time.
