Philipsburg: --- The police department is yet to take a decision on how to handle the case against brigadier R.J who is accused of beating his wife for another woman. Assistant Commissioner of Police Ademar Doran said the police department is busy conducting two investigations against R.J.
Doran said one of the investigations which were completed was done by the detective department while the other one is done by the Police Internal Affairs. Doran further explained that the criminal investigation is now completed and the file was sent on the prosecutor’s office on Friday afternoon. The top cop said he is yet to discuss the file with the prosecutor and to see what decision has to be taken while the investigation by internal affairs is still ongoing.
In an invited comment Prosecutor Rienk Mud said he already has the file with the complaint filed by Connie James. He said he would be looking into the matter early next week since domestic violence cannot be tolerated.
Mud further explained that he was informed that R.J was questioned by police but he did not see the file.
In the meantime. SMN News understands that R.J is someone who has had several problems in the past and he should not have been in the police force. Reliable sources say the young man has had trouble with the law since he was 15 years old and they cannot understand how he made it through to the police department. Several other colleagues of R.J said the officer is badly in need of psychological evaluation. Asked about that Doran said every officer has to go through such testing before becoming an officer and in the case of R.J he said when he did his tests nothing was highlighted.
