Georgetown: Chairman of the Commission of inquiry into the Linden 2012 shooting, Justice Lensley Wolfe O.J. collapsed today while attending a function in his homeland Jamaica.
In mid- last year, Wolfe along with Mr. K.D. Knight S.C, Ms. Dana Seetahal S.C along with Guyana’s former Court of Appeal Judge, Claudette Singh, CCH and former Chancellor of the Judiciary and the current Chairman of the Police Complaints Authority Cecil Kennard were sworn in to serve as Commissioners overseeing the affairs of the Commission of Inquiry into the Linden shooting which saw three persons reportedly killed by state agents and several others injured.
Wolfe and the Commissioners returned last month to award compensation to those who sustained losses during the mining town’s unrest. They shall return on the 28 of this month to give a report of recommendations based on evidence that came out during the Commission of Inquiry.
Reports disclosed that Wolfe fell ill while attending the function and had to undergo a battery of test, although, “noting seems to be amiss,” a close family of the former Jamaican Chief Justice said.
“Everything seems to be fine at this stage,” the family member told the media station. They also revealed that Wolfe is in stable condition but medical workers continue to keep a close eye on the dignitary.
The former Jamiacan Chief Justice is said to be in his mid 70s, and served in that capacity from 1996 to 2007. He also served briefly as acting Governor General for his country.
