7 more detained in Black Bush triple murder

SEVEN more persons were held on Sunday as police intensify investigation into the triple murder that recently rocked the quiet village of Black Bush Polder.Divisional Commander Ian Amsterdam told the Guyana Chronicle that 10 persons have been detained thus far and B Division detectives are working closely with colleagues at Eve Leary, Georgetown to crack the case.

A source close to the investigations has revealed that of the seven detained, two are believed to have committed the act while the others have knowledge of the
crime.

Police are working on the theory that the victims were mistaken for unscrupulous fishermen who would frequent the area, damaging the fences of the rice farmers causing animals to destroy their crops.

The men were allegedly repeatedly warned not to fish in the area and the trio was mistaken for those men.

The source said it is just a matter of time before the men crack under pressure and confess to the crime. Several of the men in custody are said to own rice fields in the vicinity where the murder occurred.

It was related that three men Pawan Chandradeo, Jaikarran Chandradeo and Naresh Rooplall were reportedly placed on their knees and then shot at point black range.

The bodies of Chandradeo, 37, called “Suresh” and “Jug Up”; his son Chandradeo, 16, called “Kevin”, and his brother-in-law Rooplall, 35, called “Teeka Bai” and “Mice” were discovered in the Cokrite Creek Savannah last Friday morning by farmers heading to their farms.

The three men, along with Pawan’s 13-year-old son Alvin Chandradeo had
left their home to go on a fishing trip in the backlands.

The young Alvin — Chandradeo’s second child — said they had left for
the creek to catch Hassar, and when they reached the irrigation
sluice, his father asked him to wait, since they had a bit more
distance to go.

The sluice has a security post, and it was thought that Alvin would be
safe there, perhaps for just a few hours, until they returned.

Charandeo was a rice farmer and a father of four. His teenage son who
was gunned down alongside him worked in the rice fields with him.

Only a month ago, Chandradeo renewed his vows with Pam, his wife of 16
years, following a brief separation. Apart from Alvin, he leaves to
mourn another son, aged 11, and a nine-year-old daughter.
