At the end of April, we told you about Irving Thimbriel, the father of Akeem Thimbriel and uncle of Shawn Lopez who were both killed 6 years ago in Camalote village.
He says that his family has gotten no justice and no closure because the police and the DPP's office are dragging their feet.
More than that, he says crooked cops have actively worked to undermine the case. We asked the Commissioner of police about it on Saturday:
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"Mr. Thimbriel and his family obviously they are still grieving, they are still hurt and rightfully so and I cant hold anything against them for that. In terms of th accusations being made, I cannot answer for them, I was not the commissioner of police then, but I had asked Mr. Myvette to look at the file again and see if there is anything in it that we can go on or what we might be able to do, if there is any follow up that we can do to bring closure to the family. They are entitled to that, so we are looking at the file again and we see where we go from there."

As viewers will remember, the Leadership Intervention Unit and GOB have a community cleanup program. The way it works is that men involved in gangs get paid to clean their communities.
When he was in Opposition, Espat was very critical of the former Barrow Government, which was doing something similar. We asked about that, and he insisted that there are important distinctions:
