4 | The police claim that a shot was fired and that they were simply returning fire - but this version of the events was contradicted by an anonymous eye witness who was contacted by the Alliance For Change (AFC) leader Nigel Hughes, who posted the testimony on his Facebook page: | Nanamafy ny polisy fa nisy nitifitra ka dia namaly tifitra tsotra fotsiny ry zareo - nefa ity fanambarana mikasika ny zava-nisy ity dia notoherin'ny vavolombelona iray tsy mitonona anarana izay natonin'ny Alliance For Change (AFC) tarihin'i Nigel Hughes, izay namoaka ny fanambarany ao amin'ny pejiny Facebook: |
5 | After I heard the gunshots, I went back to peep and I saw the same boy who was crying before, lying motionless. | Vao avy nandre ny feom-basy aho, dia niverina nitsikilo ary nahita ilay tovolahy izay nikiakiaka teo aloha, nitsirara tsy afa-nihetsika teo amin'ny tany. |

8 | The rest of the police officers were saying to him ‘humble yourself, calm down.' | Nilaza tamin'ity farany ny polisy ambiny ‘mipetraha tsara, dia mitonia ianao.' |
9 | While the boy was crying out, the policeman said to him ‘you ain't dead yet' | Raha mbola nitomany ilay tovolahy, dia hoy ilay polisy taminy, ‘mbola tsy maty aloha ianao hatreto' |
10 | Two young boys ran out from an apartment. | Tovolahy roa no nihazakazaka nivoaka ny efitrano iray. |
11 | The police put the other two boys to lie on the ground. | Naasain'ireto polisy nitsilany tamin'ny tany ireo tovolahy roa hafa. |
12 | They ran out after the shots were fired. | Avy eo nitsoaka izy ireo taorian'ny tifitra. |
13 | According to family members, Grant planned to join the Guyana Defense Force after his 18th birthday, which ironically, would have been the day after he was killed. | Raha ny filazan'ny fianakaviana, dia nihevitra ny hiditra ao amin'ny Guyana Defense Force i Grant rehefa 18 taona, izay ny mahatsikaiky, dia andro taorian'ny namonoana azy. |

22 | The Tuesday 11th September 2012 killing also brings back chilly memories of the June 7th 2010 gunning down of 16 year-old Kelvin Fraser by a rank of the Guyana Police Force, the December 6th 2011 shooting of APNU officials and supporters by ranks of the Guyana Police Force and the July 18th 2012 killings of three Lindeners by ranks of the Guyana Police Force. | Ny fitifirana tamin'ny Talata 11 Septambra dia mamoha fota-mandry ny fahatsiarovana mangidin'ny 7 Jona 2010 tamin'ny nitifiran'ny manamboninahitra tao amin'ny Herin'ny Polisy ao Guyana an'i Kelvin Fraser,16 taona, sy ny fitifirana ireo manampahefan'ny APNU sy ireo mpanaraka azy tamin'ny 6 Desambra 2011 nataon'ny manamboninahitra ao amin'ny Herin'ny Polisy ao Guyana ary ny fitifirana Lindeners telo nataon'ny manamboninahitra ao amin'ny Herin'ny Polisy ao Guyana tamin'ny 18 Jolay 2012 ihany koa. |

25 | One Voice Can Win saw the latest shooting as an indicative of an out of control police force: | Nasehon'ny One Voice Can ho tondro manambara ny tsy fahafehezan-tenan'ny herin'ny polisy ilay fitifirana farany teo iny: |
26 | It is clear to OVNN that chaos exists in the Guyana Police Force. | Mazava ho an'ny OVCN amin'izao fa misy mikorontana mihitsy ao amin'ny Herin'ny Polisy ao Guyana ao. |
27 | As the Ministry of Home Affairs continues to limp along with a now defanged Minister in whom the public has already declared no confidence, Police Commissioner Leroy Brummel seems to be incapable of seizing control of the errant ranks within the force who continue to wreak havoc on innocent citizens. | Satria moa ny Minisitry ny Atitany mitohy mandringa miaraka aminà Minisitra tsy mahomby izay efa nambaran'ny vahoaka ny tsy fahatokisany azy, ny kaomiseran'ny polisy Leroy Brummel dia hita fa toa tsy mahavita mifehy ireo ampahany mpanao fisafoana eo anivon'ny polisy izay manohy mampijaly manimbazimba ny vahoaka tsy manan-tsiny. |
28 | In a follow up post, One Voice Can Win called for major overhaul of the Guyana Police Force and criticized Police Commissioner Leroy Brummell‘s statement that Grant may have been “in the wrong place at the wrong time”: | Ao anatinà lahatsoratra iray fanjohiana azy ity, dia mangataka fanovàna goavana ao amin'ny Herin'ny Polisy ao Guyana ny One Voice Can Win ary nanakiana ny fanambaran'i Kaomiseran'ny polisy Leroy Brummell nilaza fa mety ho “tamin'ny fotoana ratsy sy tamin'ny toerana ratsy “ i Grant tamin'izay fotoana izay: |
29 | I hope that I never happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I hope that God grants me the wisdom to know where that place is. | Manantena aho fa tsy ho tratran'ny sady tamin'ny fotoana ratsy no tamin'ny toerana ratsy indray miaraka, ary mino aho fa Andriamanitra hanome ahy fahendrena hahalalako hoe aiza izay toerana izay. |
30 | Enshrined in our constitution are certain basic rights to life and liberty, and one should feel free to engage in the activities of daily life anywhere and at anytime without the threat of summarily execution or murder by police. | Voatazona tsara ao amin'ny lalam-panorenantsika ny zo fototra sasany ho an'ny fiainana sy fahalalahana, ary tokony hahatsapa fahalalahana hisahana asa amin'ny andavan'androm-piainana ny tsirairay na aiza na aiza, na rahovina na rahoviana, tsy misy ahiahy amina mety ho voina na famonoana tsy amin'antony ataon'ny polisy. |
31 | Acting Commissioner of Police Brummell showed grave insensitivity when he said that Mr. Grant was at the wrong place at the wrong time; how could he make such a pronouncement when the investigation is still ongoing? | Tena maneho tsy firaharahiana goavana i Brummell, Kaomisera mpisolo toerana ao amin'ny polisy raha nilaza fa teo amin'ny toerana ratsy tamin'ny fotoana ratsy Atoa Grant; ahoana mihitsy no ahafahany miteny zavatra toy izany nefa ny fanadihadiana mbola an-dàlana? |
32 | And how does such a careless remark not influence or taint the proceedings? | Ary ahoana no tsy hahatonga ny fanamarihana tsy voahevitra toy izany tsy handoto na hanova ireo dingana izorana? |
33 | This past Sunday, one of the country's newspapers reported that an Agricola bus driver who is a accused of being linked to the police actions has gone into hiding after his car was burned. | Tamin'ny Alahady lasa teo, nilaza ny iray amin'ireo gazety teo amin'ny firenena fa lasa nandeha niafina ny mpamily fiara fitateram-bahoaka Agricola iray izay nampangaina ho voarohirohy amin'ireo hetsika nataon'ny polisy, rehefa avy nodorana ny fiarany. |
34 | He is alleged to be a relative of one of the police officers involved. | Nolazaina fa havan'ny iray amin'ireo polisy voarhirohy izy. |
