Murder Charges in Guyana’s MV Barima Tragedy | Guyana News

Critics warn the move may be a tactic to silence witnesses or deflect blame from systemic failures, while prosecutors insist the charges are justified and can proceed alongside the inquiry. The real question: Is this about justice—or covering up deeper negligence?
