TORONTO, December 30, 2011 - Three more Grenada police officers have been detained in connection
with the alleged beating death of a Toronto man, his family's lawyer says.
The lawyer, Derick Sylvester, said an
eyewitness came forward Friday to tell police that Oscar Bartholomew was bound
and beaten by five officers.
Sylvester told CBC News from Grenada that
he called police to confirm that five officers in total are being detained and
questioned.
The five officers include the two who had
been detained Thursday.
Sylvester said it was the eyewitness's
statement that led to the additional three officers being detained.
The lawyer also said a second autopsy
will be performed on Bartholomew early Saturday, with results possibly being
released on Tuesday. The family had called for a second, independent
post-mortem examination.
