A policeman appeared before Acting Chief Magistrate Cecil Sullivan yesterday charged indictably with wilfully attempting to obstruct the course of justice by trying to dispose of evidence.

The allegation against Colin Mercurious, 25, of Lot 226 Garnett Street, Newtown said, on September 18, 2006, at Camp Street, also in Georgetown, being an agent of the State, he obtained $100,000 from Donna Carter as an inducement not to give evidence in a matter involving the affairs of his principals.

Cop remains under close arrest 

Attorney-at-law Mr. Vic Puran, who represented the cop, asked that he be granted bail in a reasonable sum as his salary is $29,000 a month.
The case will be called again on February 15.
