Rose, a labourer of Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara and Moore, a fish vendor of Parfaite Harmonie, West Bank Demerara, were released from prison only in April 2019.

The Guyana Chronicle was informed that Rose and Moore are known to each other, since they had served a sentence together for escaping from the Providence Police station lockups years ago.

Fraser’s death shocked his peers and relatives.He was reportedly shot in the foot and abdomen. Reports indicate that the men implicated in the murder are known to ‘White Boy.’

Initially, the police had stated that although the young man was shot twice, they retrieved from the scene only one .32 spent shell and one warhead, along with a pair of slippers and a blood-stained Polo hat.
