Tiana Serena Lewis-King, a nursing assistant of Lot 12 A Rosemary Lane, South Cummingsburg, who falsely claimed that she was present during the post-mortem examination of Adrianna Younge, has been charged and remanded to prison.
Lewis-King, 23, of Sixth Street, Graham Street, Better Hope, East Coast Demerara, was arrested on May 5 and charged on May 9 with the offence of Inciting Acts of Terrorism, contrary to Section 309(A)(2) of the Criminal Law (Offences) Act, Chapter 8:01, police said.
The accused appeared at Georgetown Magistrate’s Court 1, where the charge was read to her. She was not required to enter a plea.
Bail was objected to by the prosecutor, and the accused was remanded to prison.
The matter was then adjourned to May 30, 2025.
The recording by Lewis-King had generated much attention. Dr Caleb McCloggan, who was present during the post-mortem examination representing the interests of the family, confirmed that Lewis-King was not present during the examination of Adrianna Younge.
The police also reviewed their video recording of the post-mortem examination of Younge and confirmed that Lewis-King was never present in the room from the commencement to the conclusion of the examination.
According to the police, at no time did the three qualified foreign pathologists present request the assistance of any nursing assistant, nor did they invite anyone to provide an opinion.
Additionally, at no point was anyone asked or required to write their names on paper.
The police stated that Lewis-King’s false claim was intended to create public mischief and to pervert and obstruct the course of justice.
