Police charge man for Facebook posting

The 25-year-old man of Libertville, Rio Claro, is expected to appear before a San Fernando magistrate this morning to answer a charge of sending a message on a cell phone which is grossly offensive. The charge was laid by Cpl Badree.

A team of police including Snr. Supt Totaram Dookie, ASP Ken Ghisyawan and Cpl Bassarath conducted investigations and arrested the man on Saturday after his comment was posted on Facebook last week.

It read: “Someone should find Rowley daughter and wife and slit their throats n rape them (sic).” In a subsequent facebook post, the man apologised for his comment.
