Facebook poster in police custody

Mohammed, 34, was detained by police on Saturday night and taken to the San Fernando CID offices for questioning.

Mohammed’s post on Friday went viral and evoked strong condemnation.

Mohammed later apologised for the offending post, saying he was ‘ truly and deeply regretful.’ He said the post was made in anger.

“I meant no harm or malicious intent to anyone in the Rowley family,” Mohammed said he was angered by the state of crime in the country and what appeared to be a lack of concern from those in authority.

The offending post was also immediately removed.

Up to late yesterday, Mohammed was still being questioned by police officers.

A senior police officer told Newsday investigators will await instructions from the DPP after the file is submitted.
