And while the commissioner isn't moved by Nah's vehement protestations of innocence, one thing that has fazed him a little is the frenzy of speculation over former police constable Michelle Brown's claim that Elmer Nah is a killer.
She was accused of the murder of Fareed Ahmad in 2017. But near the conclusion of her murder trial in 2020, she dropped a bombshell in court. In a statement from the dock, she said that it was Corporal Elmer Nah who somehow got into the vehicle with her and Ahmad and then pulled the trigger that fired the fatal shot. Nah was brought into court to testify where he denied the charge, and there was no evidence pointing to him.
But, with him now being charged for the Ramnarace Double Murder - which was carried out as a straight hit - many are asking whether former PC Brown was onto something.
And, the commissioner has heard the cries of suspicion that there was a cover up to shield Nah - who was, at the time, a member of his Uncle Marco Vidal's Special Assignment Team, known as the S-A-T.
Williams says he will go the extra mile to squash any errant speculation that there was a cover up:
Chester Williams, Commissioner Of Police
"We are creatures of the law and what we do must be in accordance with the law but I am going to do the extraordinary because I want the public to see complete transparency. I have nothing to hide, I have requested the file from the DPP in respect to the Fareed Ahmad matter. I will approach the bar association I was trying to call Dickie earlier and I did not get him. I tried to call Audrey and I did not get her either. but I will try again to get both of them and I will bring Audrey and Dickie and invite the media to go. I through the file with you all so that you can see what are the evidence that we have in the file and prove to yourselves that is totally inconsistent with Ms Brown's account that she gave but I have --if there was evidence to indicate that Nah was involved or he had done something implicating him believe you me, we would have had him from then." Williams was the head of the Professional Standards Branch at the time - and personally investigated the allegation that police elements were involved in the murder.
