SIX police officers are expected to appear before magistrates today charged with offences arising out of separate incidents.

In the first incident, a constable attached to the Maracas/St Joseph Police Station with five years service will appear before a Tunapuna magistrate charged with causing death by dangerous driving.

The officer is alleged to have killed 66-year-old Elizabeth Annan on November 20 last year.

Annan of Pepper Village, Maracas, St Joseph, was struck when a Nissan AD Wagon slammed into her back as she walked along a pavement on La Grind Road towards the Maracas Recreation Ground.

Meanwhile, two officers were remanded in custody when they appeared before a Justice of the Peace yesterday afternoon charged with using obscene language and assault occasioning bodily harm.

PCs Nicholson and Lela appeared in the Port of Spain Magistrates’ Court and were granted bail.

They are expected to appear before an Arima magistrate today where they will be joined by three of their colleagues who were also allegedly involved in a fracas which occurred a few weeks ago involving a Special Reserve Police officer at the Maloney Police Post.

The latter three officers are expected to be charged with perverting the course of justice by entering false information in a station diary.
