In a strongly-worded statement, the police labeled these claims as “palpable falsehoods” designed to garner public sympathy for Barker-Vormawor.
The Police Service emphasized that, as per their Standard Operating Procedures for suspects in custody, all medical expenses incurred during his hospital visit were fully covered by the police.

Due to doctor-patient confidentiality, the Police Service clarified that they cannot release specific details of the expenses.
