The six suspects who reportedly confessed to the robbery/murder of two gold dealers in Bartica, are expected to appear in court today.
It is unsure whether the group will be arraigned in Georgetown or in Bartica, reports said.
Police said that they have so far arrested six persons and seized four newly purchased motor cars, one All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and a quantity of electrical home appliances, as they intensify investigations into the recent double murder and multi-million-dollar robbery at Bartica.
The Police, in a statement, said “diligent enquiries have led to the arrest of multiple suspects and seizure of vehicles”.
Acting on information received, the Police said “a composite team of sleuths” from the Criminal Investigation Department, on Wednesday, arrested five suspects, seized four motor cars, one  ATV and a quantity of electrical home appliances.
On Thursday, another suspect was handed over to the Police by his lawyer. The Police also indicated that they have recovered the firearm belonging to Ricky Ramnarine – the owner of the building in Bartica where gold dealers Ramdeo Deonarine, of Ruby, East Bank Essequibo, and Jainarine Raghubar, of Fairfield, Essequibo Coast were brutally killed.
The victims died from injuries inflicted on them in a building – owned by Ramnarine – where they usually conduct business and a large quantity of gold and millions of dollars in cash were stolen from them.
The Police are also currently searching for “one other suspect who may be involved in the committal of the offence”.
It was also confirmed that the suspects detained “include a policeman who may have compromised himself”.
The cars seized were among several believed to have been bought with the proceeds from the sale of the stolen booty.
Unconfirmed reports indicate that the policeman detained was off duty at the time of the murders and subsequently contacted the alleged perpetrators and extorted from them one car and cash in exchange for not reporting what they had done.
Investigators took possession of bills for the Bartica hotel, some diamonds and Barbadian and American currency in a room at a lower East Coast Demerara hotel.
The Police said charges will be instituted shortly as investigations are continuing.
During a press conference, at Eve Leary, Georgetown, Police Commissioner Henry Greene had told reporters one man was being detained in connection with those crimes.
His narrative of what occurred said about 11:30 h on September 5, the Police received a report of a double murder at 84 Second Avenue, Bartica and, on arrival at the scene, they saw signs indicating that a door on the bottom flat of the two-storey building had been forced open and the bodies of Jainarine Raghubar, 43, of  Lot 29 Fairfield, Essequibo Coast and Ramdeo Deonarine, 50, of Ruby, East Bank Essequibo, were on the floor of the kitchen.
The hands of both deceased were tied behind their backs and they were gagged, with their throats slit, he related.
Greene said investigations revealed that Deonarine usually conducts business in the building and lives there whenever he is in Bartica, while Raghubar, who is a partner of Ricky Ramnarine, 48, of Seventh Avenue, Bartica, and owner of the building in which the bodies were found, had gone there for the two of them to conduct business.
They were last seen alive at 00:30 h in the building by Ramnarine on Sunday, and the corpses were discovered after a friend of one of the dead men visited and saw bloodstains in the doorway.
Greene reported that the entire building was ransacked and Ramnarine, who operates a spare parts and equipment store there, said booty stolen from his office within included $1.3 M cash, a .32 ‘Taurus’ pistol with six rounds of ammunition, two laptop computers valued $362,000, 100 ounces of raw gold, and a ‘Rolex’ wrist watch worth US$7,500.
The Commissioner said it is also suspected that property belonging to Deonarine and Raghubar, including a .32 revolver belonging to Deonarine, may also have been stolen when they were killed.
Post mortem examinations conducted by Dr. Nehaul Singh said the cause of death of the two men was haemorrhage and shock, due to incised wounds to the neck.
