Body dumped in drain…A man, who after intense grilling by the cops had reportedly confessed to killing his neighbour by dealing him several cuffs, has been charged for manslaughter, and will appear in court today.This newspaper has been informed that the suspect did not realise he had killed his neighbour – Abdool Ghannie, called “Dennis”, or “Fulla” – until he had returned from work the following day. According to the Police, after this suspect had realised that Ghannie was dead, he wrapped a black plastic bag over Ghannie’s face and dumped his body in a nearby drain.This suspect has allegedly told investigators that on Saturday last, his 57-year-old neighbour, who had also been a resident of Patentia, West Bank Demerara, had been at his residence when they had had a “misunderstanding”,as a result of which, the suspect claimed, he had dealt Ghannie several cuffs to his face, which resulted in the late Ghannie receiving injuries.When contacted by this newspaper, Region Three (West Demerara-East Bank Essequibo) Police Commander, Senior Superintendent Linden Lord, explained that after being punched by the suspect, Ghannie had become motionless, and the suspect thought he had fallen asleep.On Sunday morning, the suspect noticed that Ghannie was in the same position, and thought he was still sleeping; as such, he had gone to work. However, upon his return home, the suspect observed that Ghannie was still in the same motionless position, and that was when he realised that something was amiss.He lifted Ghannie’s head and noticed blood, so he then put Ghannie’s head in a plastic bag to prevent the blood from dripping, and he dumped the body in a nearby drain.A post-mortem examination conducted on Ghannie’s body has given the cause of his death as brain haemorrhage due to blunt trauma to the head.

The independent monitor overseeing the LAPD consent decree said Thursday he was heartened by the city’s commitment to reform, but expected it to miss the June 2006 deadline for full compliance. In his first meeting with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa’s new Police Commission and members of the City Council, Michael Cherkasky said concerns remain about tracking misconduct, possible racial profiling in traffic stops and the pace of use-of-force investigations. “We believe the LAPD has made enormous progress in many areas, yet we have some serious issues remaining,” he said. Los Angeles entered into the consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2001 following the Rampart scandal. The agreement mandated an array of improvements for the Los Angeles Police Department over five years and averted a Justice Department lawsuit over allegations of excessive force, false arrests and unreasonable searches. Cherkasky and his risk-consulting firm, Kroll Inc., were hired to ensure compliance on behalf of the federal judge who will decide next summer if part or all of the consent decree should be lifted. He said his appearance Thursday and his firm’s regular monitoring reports have “more than telegraphed the fact that we think there are material areas” in which the LAPD needs to do more work. Police Chief William Bratton recently said he expects the decree to be modified rather than completely ended because of delays in implementing a computer system for tracking patterns of misconduct. Villaraigosa’s office released a letter in which he outlined the city’s commitment to fulfilling all provisions of the decree. “We firmly believe that much more of the consent decree lies behind us than stands before us,” Villaraigosa wrote. “Long after the consent decree is ended, I am committed to pursuing these values within my administration.” Cherkasky, a former New York prosecutor, also cited a number of successes, including reforming gang units, adopting new practices for dealing with the mentally ill and strengthening the inspector general’s office. But in addition to the computer tracking system, Cherkasky raised concerns that racial and ethnic minorities are being treated differently during traffic stops. Ricardo Garcia, criminal justice director of the ACLU of Southern California, said racial profiling complaints are among the most common his organization receives about the LAPD. Garcia said he also wants the department to analyze who is being pulled over, not just what happens during the stops. The LAPD also needs to tighten its financial disclosure policies for personnel assigned to specialized units, Cherkasky said, because access to sensitive information and narcotics can spur corruption, as seen in the Rampart scandal. The monitor cited the controversial police shooting of an African-American car-theft suspect to stress the need for quicker investigations of use-of-force cases. The shooting of Devin Brown, 13, made headlines this week – 10 months after it occurred – when the district attorney declined to prosecute the officer involved. Police Commission President John Mack said expediting probes in that and other cases has been a top priority of his commission, which has embraced the reform goals underlying the consent decree. “As far as I’m concerned the consent decree is not just about checking boxes,” Mack said. “It’s about making sure the institutional culture of the department has been transformed.” Dan Laidman, (213) 978-0390 dan.laidman@dailynews.com 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong.
