Case against Bou-nahra folds when cops get amnesia

The long running Manslaughter case against Ben Bou-nahra ended in shambles today when the four police officers who originally visited the scene said they could not identify the accused.

Lutchman Sooknandan said he is considering the filing of perjury charges against the witnesses.
