However, Giles’ close relatives have repeatedly expressed the view that he was the victim of foul play. So convinced were the relatives,cheap nfl jerseys china, and dissatisfied with the police investigation, that they contacted an attorney to press for further investigations.The dead policeman’s wife had told Kaieteur News that on the night of Friday, February 22, she arrived home from work and her husband was not at home.She contacted him on his cellular phone and he told her that he was drinking with some friends. Mrs. Giles said when he eventually arrived she gave him his dinner but he refused to eat right away.“He sit down and say,Wholesale Jerseys Free Shipping, man, he de drinking with some friends and somebody tell he dat I deh with some bus man from Ann’s Grove and he gon call de man,”Giles said that when her husband continued to argue with her she left the house and went across to her mother’s a few steps away in the same yard. She claimed that the couple’s two children also became afraid and followed her.Later Friday night Corporal Giles allegedly called his children back over to sleep with him at home and they obeyed. It was claimed that he also begged his wife to return to the house but she refused, since her husband had threatened her life.The wife alleged that the following day, their elder son came over to her and told her, “I raising up dad hand and like he lie down in deh dead.”She said that she did not go over to her house but instead went to the Cove and John Police Station where she reported what she had heard.The couple’s nine year old son had told members of the media that when he awoke yesterday morning he saw his father hanging and he was “stiff”. But relatives remained convinced that Giles was killed and the suicide scene was staged.Relatives yesterday outlined their suspicions to this newspaper. One relative who spoke to Kaieteur News explained that Giles had called his mother on February 22 sometime around 21:00hrs. During the time the call was made, Giles was heard arguing with a male whom he identified. Corporal Giles reportedly told his mother that the man was threatening to kill him.According to relatives, Corporal Giles was advised to leave the home and come to Georgetown. Later in the evening another relative allegedly received a call from Giles. Kaieteur News was told that the relative spoke to Giles up until midnight and that was the last time anyone heard from him. Relatives suggest that these series of calls leave questions about the actual time of death.Relative s alleged that on February 23, sometime around 07:30 hrs, Giles’ wife called one of his sisters. The sister was allegedly told that she should catch a taxi and come to the Cove and John Police Station. The woman was questioned by the relative as to why she should travel to the station.The wife allegedly told the sister that the couple’s two children were “waking up” their father who was lying down and he wasn’t moving. The wife continued to tell the man’s sister that she had not entered the house, but travelled to the Cove and John Police Station to get the police. Immediately the relative started to question the woman as to why she hadn’t entered the house, but chose to go to the station.“ What did she go to the station and tell the police….’my husband isn’t waking up?’ Clearly, that doesn’t make sense,” a relative stated.During the same telephone call, the wife also allegedly admitted that a close relative of hers and Giles had a heated argument on Friday night.That entire conversation between the wife and Giles’s sister was recorded via an answering machine. After hanging up the phone from Giles’s wife, the sister said she called another sibling.While the two were chatting, a senior police rank from the Cove and John Station reportedly called the first sister and informed her of Giles’ death. The female police rank also allegedly said that Giles had committed suicide the night before.Giles’s relative said they attempted to question the policewoman but the rank hung up the telephone.Relatives immediately hurried to the Corporal Giles’ Haslington home instead of going to the station. They said that upon arriving at the man’s house, there was a sense of confusion,Wholesale Authentic China Jerseys, as neighbours, police officers and relatives of the man’s wife were combing through the “crime scene”.“There was no indication that police had anything under control”. One officer who was at the scene, told relatives that the body was in the bedroom. From the message which was received, relatives went into the room looking on the bed for someone who was lying down, only to be confronted by the sight of a man “hanging behind a door naked”, one relative said. The sight took relatives by surprise, some of whom collapsed.According to family members, they observed none of the known indications which are usually present during a “hanging”. “There was no stool under the feet,Wholesale Authentic NFL Jerseys, his tongue was not protruding.”While at the house the same policewoman who had called Giles’ sister told relatives that they were needed at the Cove and John Station.“We went to the station but after consulting with our lawyer we were told that we should not have gone to the station because he (Giles) was not living with any one of us, but with his wife. The post mortem report, which was given to relatives, had the cause of death as asphyxiation along with compression injuries to the neck.”After the post mortem relatives felt that their concerns were being swept aside. They then contacted Attorney Basil Williams,NFL Jerseys Outlet, who drafted a letter which was to be sent to the Commissioner of Police. They claimed that the immediate response was that Giles was suicidal.From what was said the lawyer was asked about an incident which happened on January 27, 2013. On this date his wife again called to say that he had ingested poison.“Relatives had rushed to the house to take him to hospital. When we arrived at the house the wife was in the kitchen washing dishes instead of attending to her husband who had supposedly ingested poison.”When they arrived at the hospital the doctor upon checking him told relatives along with his wife and another sister that they found no trace of poison in his system, but that he was heavily intoxicated. He was never admitted to the hospital.A few days after the funeral service relatives again went back to the Cove and John station to give statements about the incident. Three sisters along with Giles’ mother all gave statements.Relatives also handed over to the police the telephone recording of the conversation that the wife had with Giles’ on February 23. Ranks who heard the tape were instructed that the man with whom Giles had the confrontation the night before be questioned. Investigators later informed relatives that the man had gone into the interior and could not be located.“We are of the belief that Giles was killed and it is a cover up. There are too many missing holes with the investigation. We would like the hierarchy of the police to get the phone records of all of the parties involved and you see the vast irregularities with this case,” one relative said.“None of the statements given by the police officers are adding up. Everyone has a different story to give. “ |
