And Musa now says that releasing the surveillance videos - which he had publicly supported just a month ago - would prejudice the investigation even more. Here's his remarks on that:
Jules Vasquez
"You have been the person calling for an independent investigation, calling for the release of the surveillance video. Now you're walking back on that and you're seeing that that will all see the video. But after the investigation is finished. But when we spoke to you on September the 4th, you were very clear. Fifth. You were very clear. Make it come out now. It's in the public interest. It happened in the plain Street."
Kareem Musa, Min. - Home Affairs
"And it will come out, Jules. That's what I'm telling you. And so if I am assured that it will come out at the end of an independent investigation, that that reassures me, because that's something I called for, an independent investigation that reassures me that it will happen. You are taking the view that it will never happen, and I don't agree with you on that."
"But in terms of the precise time that it is released, I can respect the fact that, you know what, we want to preserve the integrity of this. We noh wah Jules di zoom een pon this thing and di add people face and di tamper with it. Let us preserve the evidence, at least to the end of the independent investigation."
