Supt. Edward Broaster Says Chester Williams Threatened Him |

Senior Superintendent Chester Williams is leaving Eastern Division to take
up his new assignment behind a desk in Belmopan. But before leaving, reports
say he gave professional adversary, Superintendent Edward Broaster a piece of
his mind. Broaster has confirmed to 7NEWS that he
filed a complaint at the CIB alleging that Williams threatened him. Best reports
to 7NEWS are that the pair were among many other senior police at an officers
conference yesterday morning when Williams lashed out on Broaster.
Williams accused Broaster of fabricating evidence against him and of paying
people to do the same. And then, Broaster claims, Williams threatened him directly,
telling him, “you do not know what I am capable of.” When we spoke
to Williams today he said he didn’t threaten anyone. And while that issue
hangs, the bigger question is, what’s all the shouting about? Well, as
we’ve reported police are investigating the discovery of human remains
off the Coastal Highway a week ago.
An informer has reportedly told investigators that the person was killed by
a police death squad. Williams told police rank and file yesterday that Broaster
is trying to implicate him as being somehow involved with that – an involvement
which he denies absolutely and claims is a complete farce. |
