He was not suicidal – relativesRelatives of 31-year-old Godwin Maxwell, who disappeared after plunging into the Mahaicony River on Monday, are adamant that he was not suicidal. They believe that Maxwell made the move out of frustration after he was placed on bail.Speaking with this newspaper yesterday, the man’s uncle Wilbert Innis said that it was Maxwell’s first brush with the law and he was apparently fearful of spending time at Camp Street while his bail was being secured.Maxwell was granted bail in the sum of $45,000.“It is his first experience with the law,” Innis told this newspaper.Relatives are almost convinced that after Maxwell jumped into the river, he was shot by a rank who had pursued him. But police sources in the district are refuting this claim.?
