IC chairman criticizes police over lack of update on director’s attack

Chairman of the Integrity Commission (IC), retired Justice Seymour Panton, has expressed disappointment with the lack of an update from the police, regarding the shooting and robbing, of one of its commissioners in September last year.

The Commission’s Director of Corruption Prevention, Ryan Evans, was shot and injured as he arrived for work on September 21, during what the police said was a robbery. The attack took place in the parking lot of the Commission’s New Kingston office.

Panton referenced the matter in the IC’s annual report for 2023/24 that was made public on Tuesday.

“One of its (the Commission’s) directors was shot and robbed. That crime remains unsolved. I imagine that investigations are taking place. However, neither the Director nor the Commission has received any update since the incident,” said Panton.

Panton followed up with: “The police ought to be very concerned that this happened in the New Kingston business district where there are no zinc fences, no bushes, and very few side roads, yet the perpetrator was able to disappear without trace in the clear morning light”.
