The vigilante killing of Mc Doom resident Kenny France by Kaieteur News owner Glen Lall is once again under the spotlight.
According to this Stabroek News
report on the incident, Lall was traveling in a car on the East Bank Public
Road with three of his friends when he spotted France’s stepson Oclive Marshall,
whom he accused of attempting to break into his home sometime earlier. It was
during his confrontation with Marshall that Lall shot France in the chest.
France died on the way to the hospital.
In a statement given to the
police, the Kaieteur News owner who operated a stall at Stabroek Market and was
involved in back-tracking (illegal immigration) back then, claimed that he was
besieged by a mob during his attempt to arrest Marshall. Lall claimed that
there was a scuffle between himself, and France, and the gun accidentally went
off hitting the man in the process.
However, Lall’s version of the
event was debunked by several eyewitnesses who all said that France was
murdered in cold blood. They told Stabroek News that France was some two feet
away from Lall when he was shot in cold blood.
Lall used his money to bribe
witnesses and despite promises to the contrary by the then Police Commissioner
Laurie Lewis, the matter was swept under the rug.
