Home Affairs Minister Trusts Evidence Given by San Pedro Minors

Minister Musa was also asked if he thinks that the Commissioner of Police misrepresented the facts of the incident to the media on Wednesday. That is after it was discovered that Mendez did, in fact, make a complaint to police. Here is how Musa responded.

 

Kareem Musa, Minister of Home Affairs

“First of all, the Commissioner was not on the scene and so he is relaying information that was passed to him so you are getting third party information. In instances like that there would be some misinformation which is why I am always careful to tell you what I am told because you might not have the full picture once you are not there. I trust the evidence given by the thirteen-year-old and fifteen year old who was there. So I am not saying I am taking any information from Mr. Makin or from the O.C. in San Pedro. I am saying there are two young men saying they were being chased in a menacing way that they had to stop an off duty officer to intervene. So you have to look at that.”
