00:00 No justice was served at all.
00:02 And to hear one of them say, you know, it's the best justice system ever, is a real failure.
00:10 You know, and the one especially that actually did the most damage to everybody,
00:15 you could be talking about justice.
00:18 If I know justice was served, I'd like the DPP to look into that matter.
00:25 Mr. Marcel told TV6 News that he was informed of the not guilty verdict in the case via text.
00:32 The fact to me is that assault was done.
00:35 We was found not guilty, there was no trial.
00:38 Some assault was done, some injustice was done.
00:41 And that didn't suit me at all.
00:44 Mr. Marcel recalled the incident where he said he was ambushed by police officers in a white vehicle.
00:51 He told TV6 that the incident started at Sandy Hill Trace in Lambeau.
00:57 When they did jump out, I noticed it was police now.
01:00 And then they decided to put me in the trunk of the vehicle with some lashes.
01:04 Arrested me, well, placed a handcuff on me and then pursued along more into the village
01:11 where they saw a bunch of people coming to my rescue because like the barman tell them,
01:16 they're beating me up down the road.
01:18 So everybody ran to the situation and they took out two out of the people that ran to the rescue.
01:24 They took out two from there and let them join me in the trunk and drive to Orange Hill with us and beat us.
01:30 Threw one off our cliff, K2 in court.
01:33 And this is the outcome of that today.
01:35 Today, despite the not guilty result in the matter, in favour of the officers,
01:40 Mr. Marcel is today calling for justice and has since written to the DPP, Roger Gaspard, on the matter
01:47 in a letter dated November 16, 2023.
01:51 In this matter, I had already written to the DPP in due respect to this matter
01:56 because it didn't settle on my chest for after 20 years.
01:59 You know, but at the same time, they find them guilty if this did happen.
02:04 I feel I had more fair play and also if Juhi was in the matter, I feel this would have some kind of fair play in it.
02:10 But meanwhile, what happened is a judge alone did the trial.
02:16 I see that, you know, they leave it to one corner where I do find that this needs a public thing
02:22 because it's the citizens and it's the people cheering the Africans.
02:25 So you need everybody's mind on this one here.
02:28 You don't need one person's mind on this.
02:30 And I felt they left it carelessly.
02:33 Last Wednesday, four Tobago police officers, Andy Cunningham, Dave Chambers, Kurt Beard and Imran Mohammed
02:41 were acquitted of assault occasioning actual bodily harm when they reappeared before the Scarborough High Court
02:48 before Justice Ransomrare Hines.
02:51 Two of the four officers spoke with TV6 News and expressed relief in the case.
02:57 The charges against the officers arose following the execution of a search warrant in the Lambeau area.
03:04 Treveno Marcel, Zaki Lord, who is now deceased,
03:08 and Casey Bruce, who is today incarcerated for murder, brought the complaint against the officers.
