Tyrone Peters, who was initially believed to have committed suicide while in police custody, was in fact murdered, according to a second autopsy requested by his relatives.
The rest of the article is on in the link.. but WHAT THE $^%$*&^$* Everybody already don't think the police working, and that they corrupt but now they allowing people to die in custody??? Even killing people themselves??? :nono: :Throw: I vex!!!Peters, 19, of Santa Cruz Old Road, Lower Santa Cruz, was held by police on August 18, and was expected to be placed on several identification parades in connection with various crimes in the North Eastern Division.
However, officers said they found him hanging on August 22 when they went to look for him in the cell in at the La Horquetta Police Station.
Following his death, an autopsy was performed by Russian pathologist Dr Valery Alexandrov. The results then revealed that Peters, also called "T-Boy", had died from hanging.
However, dissatisfied with the circumstances surrounding the death, a second autopsy was commissioned by the family and conducted on August 27 by pathologist Dr Hughvon des Vignes.
Des Vignes conducted the second post morterm at the body preparation room of the Saint Rose Funeral Home at Bazilon Street, Tunapuna, at 10 p.m. and took an hour. Des Vignes' findings, however, revealed that Peters died as a result of throttling (application of armlock or chokehold). The second autopsy also "did not confirm findings consistent with hanging".
