In other news, the Minister of Home Affairs had strong words for former Assistant Commissioner of Police Marco Vidal today. As has been widely reported, he visited the property beside his nephew, the alleged triple murderer Elmer Nah almost two weeks ago trying to gather evidence to back up hie nephew's alibi.
Today Kareem Musa said it was very intimidatory:
Kareem Musa, Min. Of Home Affairs
"That is something that I just don't frown upon as an attorney, but as a Belizean I frown upon that and I'll tell you why, because I heard the explanation given by his attorney that basically he was trying to gather evidence on some sort of alibi, but the manner in which the former ACP Vidal went to the premisses along with 2 other individuals could be perceive as intimidating and so while it is that that the attorney may be right that no law was broken, if it is that that individual felt threatened in any way or intimidated in any way, as the minister of police, I believe that charges should be laid. Because intimidation is something subjective. It is how do you feel. We are all out here watching the video and we feel intimidated. What about her? So if it is that she were to come in and give a statement, it matters not that the video did not show anything, it matters not that he did not go there and actually issue a threat against the individual, it is how the lady perceived it and if she perceived a threat or an intimidating coming her way, then by all means she has all right to give a report to the police and the police has to take action on that. But I think in this case she has not given any statement, but as far as I am aware today, she is not a witness, but she is a potential witness. She is in the very same area, same vicinity as where these murders took place."
No complaint has been made against Vidal.
