Junior officers blame seniors for murder of taxi driver Monderoy
IRATE junior officers attached to Northern Division have blamed seniors for the recent murder of maxi-taxi driver Winston Monderoy over a week ago on the Priority Bus Route in the Backaday, D’Abadie area. Senior Superintendent Rodvan Bastien, however, has come to the defence of his seniors. “For years that area has been a nest of criminal activities where drivers have been robbed and sometimes injured, while the bandits escape in the nearby Bon Air Housing Scheme,” junior police officers told Newsday. About two years ago another maxi-taxi driver, Arnold Payne, was driving his maxi-taxi west when he was shot in his mouth at the same place.
He died several months later at the Eric Williams Medical Complex, yet nothing has been put in place to deal with the problem. “The records would show over the last three years there are over 25 such robberies in that area and the bandits have been getting away through the same route. “From our reasoning it appears it is the same people doing the same crime over and over and nothing is being done to catch them.” Retired teacher Monderoy, was shot dead on August 6 while plying his maxi on the Priority Bus Route. The killers escaped through Backaday Road running south of Bon Air Gardens.
