Christopher “Monster” Selby, the only surviving member of a trio of prison escapees, will be charged for the murder of police constable PC Sherman Maynard. Selby, 30, is also expected to be charged for the daring escape from the Frederick Street, Port-of-Spain prison and several other offences. He is expected to appear in the Port-of-Spain Magistrates’ Court today to face the charges. The T&T Guardian was informed yesterday that Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard met with and advised the police officers investigating the case to lay the charges against Selby. Selby, along with fellow prisoners Allan “Scanny” Martin, 42, and Hasan Atwell, 41, shot their way out of the Port-of-Spain prison on July 24, killing Maynard as they did so and throwing the city into chaos as police and the army went into lockdown mode. Maynard was shot in the front seat passenger side of a police vehicle as he and two other colleagues were doing sentry duty outside the prison. He died of his injuries while undergoing emergency surgery.
Martin was shot dead moments after he bolted, after he was cornered in the security guard booth at the Port-of-Spain General Hospital. Atwell, who went on the lam for two days, was discovered shot several times in the back and body at Calvary Hill, East Dry River, Port-of-Spain. He is believed to have been killed by members of the Rasta City gang. Selby surrendered to the police at the Barataria Police Station on Sunday.
