THE Guyana Police Force (GPF) is seeking to contact 19-year-old Brian Leitch, also known as “Big Foot”, of Lot 2118 Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, for questioning in connection with the recent murder of South Central Hotel proprietor, 59-year-old Joseph Alexander Jagdeo.

Anyone with information that may lead to the arrest of Leitch is asked to contact the police on telephone numbers 225-6411, 225-6941, 225-8196, 226-7065, 227-1149, 911, or the nearest police station. The GPF assures that “all information will be treated with strict confidence.”
An employee had found Jagdeo’s trussed up body under a bed in Room 10 of the hotel he operated, and Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh found that Jagdeo had died of asphyxiation due to manual strangulation. His wife said his hands, mouth and nose had been tied with cloth.
The keys to the room had been found on the bed, prompting a theory that the perpetrators had locked the door and had thrown the keys over the wall.
