Investigation into the death of Oscar Bartholomew


ST GEORGE'S, December 28, 2011 - The ROYAL GRENADA POLICE FORCE (RGPF) is conducting an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest and subsequent death of Oscar BARTHOLOMEW, a 39 years old carpenter of Canada, who resided at La Tante St. David.
The investigation is being conducted in conjunction with the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution.
The RGPF wishes to assure the public and the family of the deceased that the investigation will be conducted with alacrity, objectivity and an uncompromising desire to elicit the truth.
The RGPF has had a good record of being impartial in the conduct of similar matters, and have been inclusive, thorough and forthright in its determinations in spite of the fact that the allegations are against members of this institution.
The RGPF is resolved to allowing the evidence to determine eventual courses of action that will be appropriate to the circumstances.
This matter will be treated with the same level of professionalism that matters of this nature are routinely executed; no exceptions will be made regarding the conduct of this investigation. The RGPF understands the anxieties and concerns of the family of the deceased and the public and urges patience as the investigations progress.
Meanwhile, senior officers of the Royal Grenada Police Force have officially visited the relatives and next of kin of the deceased Oscar BARTHOLOMEW to officially inform them of this unfortunate incident and to extend deepest condolences on behalf of the Commissioner of Police.

For all those who are quick to make statement that is not founded, wait until the investigation is complete. To many time the folks fuzzy make the most noise about stuff like these don't have a clue what they talking about. EX PC 730

I agree with you. Many times people do things and forget that there is a God above who looketh down and see the wickedness that man do but don't worry God will judge all wickedness. I will sorry for what God will do unto all those wicked Police man/men that beat up Mr. Bartholomew. After all you all could have charge the man not beat him to death. Could you imaging the torture this man go through boy i tell you we coming back to the revo days all this that use to go on in those days (history repeating itself) Mr Thomas what you doing we Grenadians calling on you to do something. Man this is a very very bad reputation for Grenada

And mind you this is not the first time the policemen doing this ah tell you long rope for migger goat. what in the dark will come out in the light how long the police force will hide dont worry the truth will and must prevail. THERE IS AN UNSEEING EYE WATCHING THE POLICE FORCE ITS GOD AND HE WILL REVEAL ALL THE SECRETS AND UNDER COVER STUFF YOU GUYS ARE DOING. AND HE WILL JUDGE!!!!!!!!!!
