POLICE sources working on the investigation into the execution two Thursdays ago of the Lusignan hairdresser said that the taxi driver who was detained for questioning is no longer in custody.
Guyana Chronicle was told that when the man was placed on an identification parade by the police, persons who claimed to have witnessed the incident at some stage did not identify him as the driver nor the shooter.
OTHER LEADS
Meanwhile, the police have indicated that they will be working on other leads since more information has been coming to hand in relation to the shooting and this is being investigated.
Two weeks ago, Ashminee Harryram, a Lusignan hairdresser, was gunned down when a car drove up and waited until she and another relative had passed before a gun-toting occupant disembarked and discharged a fatal shot to the woman’s head.
The shooter then re-joined the car and escaped from the scene before the police arrived.
Last week, a Beterverwagting taxi driver was arrested and detained after persons suspected that he was involved in the crime. They told investigators that the vehicle the man was driving matched the description of the one that was used in the crime.
