BDF soldier found guilty

Barbados Defence Force (BDF) Private Raheem Reeves has been found guilty on the final day of his court martial at the Barbados Defence Force’s St Ann’s Fort headquarters.

He was accused of leaving his duty station at St Ann’s Fort while being part of a COVID-19 Sanitization Unit without reasonable excuse on March 14, 2021.

However, his attorney-at-law Queen’s Counsel Michael Lashley has served notice that he intends to take the matter to the Court of Appeal.
