Health Ministry fire… The female Lance Corporal suspected of helping arson suspects, Kurt Thierens, and Colin Jones escape from the Providence Police Station lockups has been dismissed from the Guyana Police Force. Kaieteur News understands that the rank was informed of her dismissal on Friday and ordered to hand over all items belonging to the Force. She was then placed in the East La Penitence Police Station lockups and is likely to appear in court today on charges relating to the escape. According to sources, investigators have confiscated her mobile phone to check her associates. Police sources allege that a second plan to free one of the other arson suspects fell through because another female rank refused to co-operate. This newspaper was told that the 66-year-old Rural Constable who was also on duty during the ‘breakout’ has also been dismissed. Another female rank from another station has been transferred, since investigators believe that she was also part of the plot. The former policewoman has alleged that she was patrolling the station compound, and when she re-entered the station the men were gone. Investigators said that Kurt Thierens, called ‘Bage’ or ‘Glasses’, and Colin Jones, called ‘Bonny’, had provided them with crucial information about the Health Ministry’s arson. Police officials claim that that incident was part of a plot by a political group to torch several government buildings and businesses in the city. They said that the mysterious disappearance of the two men has affected their ability to build a stronger case against the masterminds and others. |

The Mark Benschop Foundation was officially launched in March 2008 by its founder and chairman Mark Benschop and other concerned Guyanese and well wishers in the United States of America.
