Former acting Police Commissioner Rawlston Pompey is facing serious criticism from the country’s top prosecutor over public statements he made regarding the death of 18-year-old Khaleel Simon, who
was allegedly shot by a police officer two weeks ago in the village of Bolans.
Director of Public Prosecutions Clement Joseph has condemned Pompey’s comments as “highly irresponsible” and warned they could amount to defamation against police officers while potentially prejudicing any future legal proceedings that may occur.
In his public statements, Pompey made several explosive claims about the Simon case, pointing out that the officer allegedly involved in the incident was transferred, along with other claims about the manner of the teenager’s death.
However, Joseph questioned the veracity of these claims during an exclusive interview with OBSERVER media.
