It is not normal practice that police will pay much attention to the circumstances surrounding the killing of well known criminal suspects.But in the case of 27 year old Gary DeFlorimonte, called ‘Saddam’, the Force is digging deep to ascertain the real scenario surrounding his death, especially since there are reports that the police were involved and there are attempts at a cover-up.De Florimonte’s decomposing body which bore three bullet holes was discovered on the morning of February 23 in a clump of bushes in the Plaisance Squatting Area.Up to now the police have not claimed responsibility for the shooting, although relatives of the dead man are claiming that DeFlorimonte was killed by ranks of a police mobile patrol.The dead man’s uncle, Percy DeFlorimonte,Wholesale Jerseys From China, alleged that several persons have claimed to have seen the police shoot his nephew two days before his body was discovered.Residents had told Kaieteur News that about two days prior to the discovery of the body,Air Max 97 Undefeated For Sale, at least five policemen, accompanied by a resident,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, visited a popular hangout looking for DeFlorimonte.It is alleged that DeFlorimonte attempted to evade ranks by jumping into a gutter, and the ranks reportedly shot in his direction.They said that realizing he was hurt, DeFlorimonte gave himself up and braced a fence.
