D’Aguilar in trouble with Tivoli Commission

TIVOLI Committee head Lloyd D’Aguilar is in trouble with the Tivoli Enquiry again.

This time the controversial D’Aguliar has landed into hot water over a radio interview during which he reportedly discussed the statement of witnesses who are yet to give evidence before the commission.

The matter was brought to the commission’s attention by Linton Gordon, one of the attorneys appearing for the Jamaica Defence Force.

Commission Chairman Sir David Simmons said that he would seek the assistance of the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to determine whether criminal charges can be laid against D’Aguilar.

“I have to get a transcript of both interviews to refer to the DPP to determine if there are any criminal offences,” Simmons said.

“It was drawn to my attention that on Wednesday he tried to explain the evidence given by McFarlane and that there was an error. You telling me that on the day after he went back?” asked Simmons in disbelief.

D’Aguliar had previously been kicked out of the commission at the Jamaica Conference Centre in downtown Kingston over unbecoming behaviour.

The commission is looking into the circumstances surrounding the death of 73 people during the May 2010 police/military operation to apprehend then Tivoli Gardens don Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke.

Yesterday, shop attendant Oniel Smith, a resident of Tivoli Gardens, was the sole witness to give evidence.

The enquiry resumes on Monday.
