| And while there is no one detained in that murder, there are also no detentions in a more clear cut case where the alleged culprits are right in the police station! We're talking about the alleged rape in the Independence Police station which the victims say happened over a week ago. The police officers alleged to be involved remain on active duty - and police still have not concluded their investigation. Though today they did confirm that the women were carnally known:...
ACP Joseph Myvette, Head - NCIB
"Yes, the investigation or the examination proved that they were carnally known."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"So what's the status, right now, of the investigation?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"The investigation is still ongoing."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"It's a very long time for a rape investigation to continue. Usually when this happens someone in politics or in law enforcement is involved, meaning that the police lack the will to bring the charges. Is the department covering for its own officers, who the allegation is acted in a grotesque criminal fashion?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"Of course not. As I had mentioned to you at the last briefing, there are some investigations that require more in depth looking into than others and this is one of those investigations that have led us in different directions, or should I say there are certain inconsistencies which we need to clarify in regards to the investigation."
Jules Vasquez, reporter
"Is there a timeframe for when the investigation might finish?"
ACP Joseph Myvett
"I will not be in a position to answer that, I know the investigators are on the ground."
The women - a Salvadoran and a Belizean - were detained for a drug search - but allege that three cops then raped them on the station compound.
