One TV man reports to cops
ONLY one of the three hosts of local television programmes Police invited for questioning in connection with an ongoing investigation had turned up by late yesterday afternoon, a Police official said. The men, Mr Clem David, Mr Roger Moore and Mr Ronald Waddell were asked to report to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) at 09:00 hrs (9 a.m.) yesterday. Only Waddell showed up by late afternoon, a Police spokesman said. He declined to say, at this stage, how the Police would proceed. Police had told the three to report to CID headquarters in Georgetown in relation to "a matter under investigation". They were not given details on the matter under investigation but Moore in a statement linked it to a cellular telephone found at the apartment house in which wanted bandit Linden `Blackie' London was shot dead in a joint Police-Army operation on February 9. Moore said their "telephone numbers came up in the directory of slain wanted man Blackie's cellular phone." "The police are interested in what Blackie may have told them", Moore claimed in the statement. The Chronicle understands that Police have been running checks on a cellular phone found after London was killed in the shootout. A senior Police official has confirmed they have a cellular phone found at the scene of London's death and are "looking into it". London, 38, died when he was shot after an almost 12-hour confrontation with a joint Police-Army contingent at the Toucan guest house, Eccles, East Bank Demerara. He had been wanted dead or alive by the Police for some 14 robberies and at least two murders and was on the run since 1989.
