THE Guyana Police Force’s (GPF) Major Crimes Unit has its eyes on the masterminds behind the 2011 murder of Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris at her Lot 42 Robb Street, Georgetown home on the night of June 30.

Two men entered her yard and asked to see her. When the elderly woman went to her door, a gunman riddled her with bullets before fleeing in a car with his accomplice.

The execution was said to be part of a conspiracy for money and was reportedly linked to a property dispute.

Four men were initially charged, and, during the trial, a caution statement provided by one of the accused had outlined that there was a plot by someone to murder the elderly woman.

The gunmen were allegedly paid almost $2M to end the woman’s life. In September 2015, the accused were all found guilty, and Justice Navindra Singh sentenced each of them to 81 years in prison.

Following sentencing, the convicted men all maintained that they were innocent.
Attorneys-at-law George Thomas and Moti Singh subsequently indicated to the court their intention to appeal the convictions.

Convicted are Orwin Hinds of Mocha, East Bank Demerara; Kevin October of Agricola; Cleon Hinds; and Roy Jacobs of Evans Street, Charlestown

Reports indicate that the convicted prisoners in order to mitigate their time in prison have agreed to reveal the names of those involved in the murder plot along with evidence to concretise their story as investigations continue.
