A MISBEHAVIOUR charge has been laid against head of the Special Operations Response Team (SORT) Insp Mark Hernandez.
The charge stems from the deaths of murder suspects Andrew Morris and Joel Balcon who were held during the investigation of the murder of court clerk, Andrea Bharatt, but died in police custody.
Hernandez was charged shortly after a High Court judge gave Police Commissioner Gary Griffith until 4.14 pm on Monday, to lay the misbehaviour charge or release him.
