The following is a statement from the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service (RCIPS) in response to suggestions that charges have been dropped in the ongoing court case of McKeeva Bush MLA [ex-Cayman islands Premier].

In response to a number of enquiries which have been received by the RCIPS relating to suggestions that charges have been dropped in the ongoing court case of McKeeva Bush MLA, please see the following statement:

A police spokesperson said, “The case against Mr. Bush is now in the courts system and the issues therein may be considered sub-judice. It should also be noted that any decision made in relation to charges and the framing of indictments is a matter for the DPP’s office.

“The RCIPS understands that no charges have been dropped but that consideration has been given to consolidating some of the charges. You will be aware that any confirmation of such action, or any comment relating to it, must be made by the DPP’s office and not the RCIPS. It would be inappropriate for the RCIPS to comment further on this matter.”
