Family, attorney of prisoner question escape claims

Ot­to Car­ring­ton

The fam­i­ly of pris­on­er Justin Ram­lochan is call­ing for an in­ves­ti­ga­tion by the au­thor­i­ties in­to his al­leged at­tempt­ed es­cape from a jail van.

Ac­cord­ing to po­lice re­ports, the in­ci­dent oc­curred on Mon­day night when Ram­lochan and two re­mand pris­on­ers were be­ing trans­port­ed in an Amal­ga­mat­ed Se­cu­ri­ty Ser­vices Lim­it­ed ve­hi­cle.

Whilst the ve­hi­cle was trav­el­ling together the Uri­ah But­ler High­way near Grand Bazaar, Val­sayn, Ram­lochan, who was shack­led, al­leged­ly pried open up the back door and jumped out.

Ram­lochan, who sus­tained se­vere in­juries to his head, hand and deal with, was tak­en to the near­by Er­ic Williams Med­ical Sci­ences Com­plex in Mt Hope by po­lice of­fi­cers who ended up es­cort­ing the pris­on­er trans­port ve­hi­cle.

His moth­er, San­dra Ram­lochan, instructed Guardian Me­dia her son is in se­vere pain and has ban­dages all around his deal with and oth­er components of his overall body.

She explained she was al­lowed to see her son, who is an elec­tri­cian, for on­ly two min­utes but is con­cerned about how he would have been ready to pry open a doorway to ex­it a mov­ing prison van when he was searched be­fore en­ter­ing it.

Ram­lochan explained she want­ed an­swers about what hap­pened, as she said her son was go­ing to be out on bail a number of hrs lat­er and that every­thing was in area for him to be re­turned to the fam­i­ly.

He added that le­gal ac­tion is be­ing looked at for neg­li­gence in this mat­ter and that a thor­ough in­ves­ti­ga­tion need to be accomplished.
