Minister Benn Meets With Bereaved Families, Confirms Independent Investigations Underway

Earlier today, Saturday, April 12, 2025, the Minister of Home Affairs, Hon’ble Robeson Benn, visited the family of the late Keon Fogenay to offer heartfelt condolences following the recent tragic incident. During his visit, Minister Benn conveyed the Government’s and the Ministry’s unwavering support and reassured the grieving family of a thorough and impartial investigation into the matter.
Minister Benn informed the family that an independent investigation is currently underway, being led by the Guyana Police Force’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) alongside a team of investigators from the Regional Security System (RSS), who have since arrived in Linden.
In a separate visit, Minister Benn also met with the mother of the late Kellroy Bradford of Block 22, Wismar, Linden, who was fatally stabbed on April 4, 2025. The Minister expressed his deepest sympathies and offered words of comfort and support to the bereaved family during this profoundly difficult time.
While efforts were made to personally visit the family of Ronaldo Peters, the family was otherwise engaged. Nevertheless, Minister Benn was able to establish telephone contact and extend his condolences and support.
The Ministry of Home Affairs remains committed to ensuring justice, transparency, and care in the face of these unfortunate incidents.May be an image of 6 people, braids, child and table
