AFC to bring overseas pathologist to witness Linden murder victims PM

Georgetown : The Alliance For Change has arranged for a pathologist from the Caribbean to come to Guyana to witness the post mortem examination on the victims of the Linden protest. The pathologist, who is a professor within his field, is scheduled to arrive in Guyana on Wednesday. The relatives of the deceased have requested that the post-mortem examination be delayed until the pathologist arrives in Guyana

Three persons were killed when police opened fire on the protesters who at the time were participating in a march for which the police had given approval.

Relatives of two of the fatal victims and another who has been hospitalised have come forward to make reports of murder and attempted murder.

The AFC was in Linden over the weekend where members of the Party were able to speak directly with eye witnesses to the shooting and also with some persons who were injured.
