The trial in the US of Guyanese businessman and alleged drug kingpin, Shaheed Roger Khan, is heating up while several murder allegations are being leveled against him during the trial. US prosecutors had claimed before his incarceration that he had ordered his so-called hit men to execute a number of persons, including Guyanese boxing coach Donald Allison and Devendra Persaud. They claimed both men had refused to work for Khans drug ring. Local media raised the issue of whether police in Guyana will investigate these matters with President Bharrat Jagdeo during a media conference at his office. Jagdeo, in his response, said the local police have an obligation to investigate any allegations of crime whether at home or abroad as long as Guyanese are involved.
