VENEZUELA President Nicolas Maduro announced plans yesterday to purge the police force following his accusations that some officers were involved in the murder of Robert Serra earlier this month.
Mr Maduro (pictured) said that he would name a presidential commission to “revolutionise the police” and “fix everything that’s wrong” with it.
Mr Serra, who was just 27 and a parliamentary deputy for the United Socialist Party (PSUV), was found stabbed to death, as was his partner Maria Herrera, at their Caracas home on October 1.
