Former Deputy Commissioner of Police, Mark Shields, who led the investigations which resulted in the policemen being charged, says he’s shocked at the DPP’s decision to discontinue the matter.
Mr. Shields says in his over three decades in law enforcement, he’s never seen murder charges discontinued on the basis of cost.
Mr. Shields says following the majority guilty verdict which was controversially rejected by Justice Horace Marsh, an apology is owed to the family of the victims of the crime.
