People’s Progressive Party issues apology for calling murdered teenager a criminal

Earlier today the mother of murdered teenager Shaquelle Grant called on the People's Progressive Party to apologize for calling her son a criminal. She reminded everyone that her son was never convicted of any crime nor was he ever wanted by the police for any offense.

Earlier today the mother of murdered teenager Shaquelle Grant called on the People's Progressive Party to apologize for calling her son a criminal. She reminded everyone that her son was never convicted of any crime nor was he ever wanted by the police for any offense.

Two years ago seventeen year old Grant was killed by law enforcement while sitting in a yard with friends in Agricola Village, East Coast Demerara during a police operation.

Three lawmen were later charged with Grant’s murder; two of whom fled since the charges were filed and one is awaiting a court trial.

This afternoon the PPP issued the following press release:

"The People’s Progressive Party (PPP) has noted the call for an apology by the mother of Shaquelle Grant concerning a statement issued in the name of the Party in which Shaquelle Grant was wrongly deemed a “criminal”

A clarification was sought at the Weekly Press Conference of the Party where the General Secretary in response had promised to ascertain the veracity of the contents of the Statement.

The Party has since done so and has determined that there is no justification in describing Shaquelle Grant as a criminal.

In the circumstances, the Party offers an unequivocal apology to the mother of Shaquelle Grant for this unfounded assertion and for any hurt and harm caused."
