Bruneau Laurette Returned To Police Cell

He narrowly avoided jail time. This Friday, Bruneau Laurette appeared in court as part of his motion for provisional release. It was decided that the defendant will be returned to custody until Monday, December 5, when his request will be debated. Except that the Police Prosecutor requested that Bruneau Laurette be returned to prison. Remember that after 21 days, any suspect who is returned to custody is returned to the prison and no longer to a police cell. However, Me Shakeel Mohamed objected to the request of the Police Prosecutor. He stated that he would like to have access to his client as part of the motion. He added that this is difficult in prison as the request must be made 48 hours in advance. The magistrate granted the motion. The prosecution, represented by Roshan Varma Santokhee, Principal State Counsel, opposed the motion to strike the provisional charges.
