COMPOL Whylie Rejects Mason Connection
posted (September 8, 2016)

When we met Police Commissioner Allen Whylie today, it was the first time the Media has gotten a chance to question him since the Pastor Lu murder on July 15th.  Whylie had been on leave when it happened – and since then all sorts of allegations about Lu’s alleged killer, Danny Mason and the police have emerged.  Since Mason was a friend to so many Police officers, we asked Whylie if he was one of them:…

Reporter
"Did you have any relationship with the man?"

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"No (laugh)... I think most of Belize has been asking that question. I can categorically deny, I don't know Mr. Mason, I have never met Mr. Mason, I have no relationship with Mr. Mason."

Reporter
"Did you hear of him though? Because the Assistant Commissioner of Police Edward Broaster said that in 2014 when he was made aware of the dealings of this individual they looked him up and they said he forwarded that information to you."

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"Well I don't know what Mr. Broaster said, I can say in 2014 I don't recall ever hearing a Mr. Mason and that's my fare recollection."

Reporter
"So no one in the police department informed you of this guy and the fact that he was involved in scamming people?"

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"As I said I have never heard of Mr. Mason. I had heard earlier this year in terms of a gentleman, a Canadian Ted Oulette. Nobody had made that connection to me that Ted Oulette and Mason were one and the same."

Reporter
"Are you aware that Ted Oulette made donations to the police department a part from what he may have made to the police team as well as the Bandits which is a bit separate?"

Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"I can tell you that during my 3 years I have never met Mr. Mason, he has made no contribution to the police department under my administration that I am aware of; none at all."
