Commissioner of Police, Mr. Clifton Hicken on Friday, March 24th,2023 assured that a “thorough Investigation” will be conducted into the alleged beating of a Brazilian Man by a “SWAT Team Member” of the Guyana Police Force.

The alleged beating of the Man identified as Wellington Dos Santos reportedly took place on Wednesday, March 22nd,2023 at the Kingston Seawall,Georgetown, and a Report has been made at the Guyana Police Force’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

Dos Santos claimed that he was hanging out with a Group of Friends, when his Girlfriend got into an Argument with the Policeman’s Girlfriend. The Two Women reportedly began fighting, and according to Dos Santos he tried to separate them.

His Actions, however, allegedly led to the Policeman confronting him. Dos Santos claimed that the “off-duty” Cop pulled out his Firearm, and began threatening him. The Cop reportedly followed-up by beating the Brazilian Man, and even kicked the Victim’s Girlfriend to the Stomach.

A bleeding Dos Santos then left for a City Hospital with his Girlfriend where he was treated for a broken Nose, and other Injuries to his Body.
