‘New info’ in Movie Towne shooting

POLICE have obtained new information relative to the June 8 Movie Towne shooting, and sources said investigators may have to go to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) ,Geoffrey Henderson, with it.

A source told Newsday yesterday that the new information was obtained last Friday, the day after one of the victims, expelled Jamaat-al-Muslimeem member, Lincoln Alexis, aka Salim Rashid, was removed from the Port-of-Spain General Hospital (PoSGH) to the Mount Hope Medical Sciences Centre. With his transfer, Rashid joined another expelled Muslimeen member, Clive “Wolfie” Lewis, aka Adil Ghani, who was also shot in the Movie Towne incident that left his common-lawwife, Jillia Bowen, dead. While the source was reluctant to give out the new information, it was revealed that the discussion with the DPP has to do with “what evidence we are going to come with.”

Up to late yesterday, however, sources at the DPP’s office said the meeting with DPP Henderson had not taken place. Rashid, Ghani and Bowen were all sitting on a bench on the night of June 8 on the Movie Towne compound when a white B13 Nissan Sentra vehicle pulled alongside and its occupants fired several shots. Bowen died on spot, while Ghani and Rashid received several shots to the lower portion of their body.  Newsday was able to reach one of Rashid’s wives yesterday. The woman, who refused to give her name, said Rashid was resting comfortably and was out of danger.  No arrests had been made up to late evening and Sgt Nandram Moonilal of the St James Criminal Investigations Department (CID) is continuing investigations.
