WE also asked the Prime Minister about Police Corporal Ryon Wagner who ahs been charged for murder. The Corporal had been the personal driver and security guard for the Prime Minister's wife going back for at least four years - so he was an intimate of the Barrow household. But tonight, Wagner is in jail, on remand for the murder of Nicaraguan Eduardo Manuel Perez Sanchez. Perez Sanchez was found last weekend - hos body thrown on the Young Gial Road. Reports say Wagner told other cops he shot a man - and appeared to have been drinking. Today the Prime Minister told us he was shocked to hear the accusation:..
Jules Vasquez
"Were you shocked at the allegation against Cpl. Ryan Wagner, an intimate of your household now on remand at Hattieville Prison for murder?"
Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"Of course I was. I still can't quite understand what happened. During the time he was with my family he was extremely professional. He was a highly trained individual, a member of BSAG at one point. I thought that he was very disciplined, very level-headed. I didn't know him to be a drinker or a smoker. So what has happened profoundly disturbs me, profoundly baffles me. I of course can't get into the circumstances such as are being described by various people who don't necessarily know what they are talking about."
Wagner next appears in court on November second. He was one of three officers handpicked to secure the Prime Minister's family.
