The lawyer alleged that his client was tortured by two police ranks while he was in custody. Reports in the media indicated that the alleged mastermind is Bacchus of Corneila Ida, West Coast Demerara and he has reportedly admitted to taking some of the gunmen to and from the scene of the killing. He had lost the rear bumper of his vehicle while fleeing the scene.
