A Special Reserve Police (SRP) officer and a security guard have been freed of charges stemming from the alleged kidnapping, rape and attempted murder of an 18-year-old Venezuelan national in 2020.
SRP officer Akini Rodriguez, 26, of Dibe, Long Circular, St James, and Aaron Ramkisoon, 20, of Waterhole, Cocorite, were discharged by High Court Master Kimitria Gray at the conclusion of their sufficiency hearing earlier this month.
Master Gray ruled that the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) had presented insufficient evidence to warrant the matter proceeding to trial before a High Court judge and jury or by judge alone.
