A year after he allegedly shot his colleagues during an argument, former Police Constable Corinth Corbin was on Friday charged and released on $75,000 bail.
Former Policeman Corinth Corbin
Corbin, 22, of Silver Town, Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice), appeared before Senior Magistrate Leron Daly at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
Policeman David Lampkin
He pleaded not guilty to the charge which stated that on January 31, 2021, at Brickdam, Georgetown, he discharged a loaded firearm at Dewani Lampkin with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable, or cause him grievous bodily harm.
At the time of the shooting, Corbin and Lampkin, who also held the rank of Constable, were attached to the Brickdam Police Station. Reports are that Lampkin was shot to his leg at about 05:00h during an argument over a missing pair of slippers.
It is alleged that Corbin became annoyed, whipped out his service revolver, and shot Lampkin to his right leg. Following the incident, the injured policeman was rushed to Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation for treatment.
Guyana Times understands that Corbin was placed on open arrest after the shooting. He, however, went absent without leave and was only arrested this week at his home.
