Police killer, Solomon Blackman did not storm into to the Chief Magistrate's Court on Monday as reported in yesterday's edition. Stabroek News regrets the error.

According to Acting Chief Magistrate Juliet Holder-Allen, Blackman was asked what matter he had in court that day.

Whilst Blackman was speaking to the magistrate, the door was open. When he was finally taken from the courtroom it was closed by a police officer due to a juvenile case that was about to start. Once Blackman had left the premises the case against the four boys began with the door closed.
