Barbadian immigration officer in Shanique Myrie case to testify

KINGSTON, Jamaica - THE female immigration officer in Barbados who is accused of 'finger raping' Jamaican Shanique Myrie will now have to testify in a suit brought by Myrie against the Barbadian Government. The Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) yesterday ruled that a statement be taken from the officer by Roger Forde, Queen's Counsel, who is representing the Government of Barbados in the case, according to Myrie's attorney Michelle Brown. The CCJ's ruling follows an application by Myrie for the woman to give evidence. The application was heard via video link from the Supreme Court building in downtown Kingston.
