Guyana's top government officials are calling for the suspension of a police commander in charge of officers who allegedly doused a teenage murder suspect with alcohol and set him on fire.Paulette Morrison oversees the west coast police division of the South American country.
National Security Minister Clement Rohee said Monday that she should immediately be suspended for what he called improper supervision of officers. The entire Cabinet is backing the request.
Two policemen have been arrested on suspicion of torturing the 14-year-old in custody while investigating the fatal beating of a former governing party official.
Doctors say the teen will likely be in the hospital for at least four months.
