Protest Action for Quindon Bacchus
A protest action has erupted along the East Coast Demerara Public Road (at the Golden Grove Market Junction), over the shooting to death of Quindon Bacchus.
Among the protesters are his mother and father, who are calling for justice for their son.
Bacchus was shot to death on Friday afternoon, at Haslington, E.C.D, by police officers.
According to Police reports, officers acting on information received swooped down on Bacchus, who allegedly had a firearm in his possession.
It is alleged that Bacchus while attempting to escape capture, fired several shots in the direction of the officers, who returned fire.
Bacchus' body was riddled with six bullets.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports also suggest that Bacchus was shot in retaliation to rumors that he was having an affair with the female partner of the officer, who pulled the trigger.
Investigations into the matter are continuing.
